This Auckland-based duo, comprised of brothers Pierre and Nic, has carved a niche for themselves with their vibrant, synth-laden soundscapes.

Emerging from New Zealand's fertile music scene, Balu Brigada quickly gained traction with early tracks that showcased their knack for catchy melodies and innovative production. Their breakthrough came with releases that highlighted their distinctive blend of bouncy rhythms and introspective lyrics.

They've cultivated a loyal fanbase that appreciates their authentic approach to songwriting and their commitment to pushing creative boundaries. Their music videos, often visually striking and conceptually driven, further enhance their artistic identity. While no large-scale collaborations are publicly known, their consistent output hints at a drive for perfection within their own creative bubble. They continue to release new music, solidifying their position as one of New Zealand's most exciting indie exports.
