In an age where music often feels manufactured and formulaic, Shivanshu Balhara, an independent artist, songwriter, lyricist, and content creator, is making waves with something refreshingly real raw emotion, rooted culture, and unfiltered stories.
From the heart of Haryana’s small towns to global streaming platforms, Shivanshu’s journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and creative authenticity. With his debut album UNDONE, and a string of original tracks like “Bewafa Sa Waqt”, he’s not just making music he’s building a movement for independent voices that refuse to be boxed in by industry norms.
A Voice Born in Theatre, Raised by Lyrics
Before entering the world of music, Shivanshu was already captivating audiences through theatre. His Haryanvi plays often humorous with a deep emotional undertone allowed him to explore the art of storytelling through dialogue, emotion, and stagecraft. Over the years, he has written, directed, and acted in multiple original plays, establishing a loyal audience both offline and online.
This rich foundation in storytelling transitioned seamlessly into songwriting. Today, his music blends Hindi, Punjabi, English, and Haryanvi not just linguistically, but emotionally. “Music is not just sound, it’s a story of emotions,” says Shivanshu. “Whether it’s heartbreak, celebration, or self-reflection every song I write carries a piece of my journey or someone else’s I’ve deeply felt.”
UNDONE: An Album About Being Human
Shivanshu’s 2025 release, UNDONE, is more than a debut album it’s a window into the artist’s soul. Infused with Hip-Hop and R&B vibes, UNDONE explores themes of love, vulnerability, self-worth, and healing. The album was created independently from writing to composing and showcases Shivanshu’s ability to merge global sounds with local narratives.
His recently released single, “Bewafa Sa Waqt”, is already resonating with audiences across platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. It’s a hauntingly beautiful track about betrayal and time two things that never wait.
With over 1,000 YouTube subscribers on his channel ‘Haryanvi Hawa’, Shivanshu is also gaining attention for his original skits, plays, and musical content, which reflect the pulse of everyday life in Haryana with a modern twist.
More Than Music — A Cultural Bridge
What sets Shivanshu apart is his ability to switch effortlessly between languages and genres, reflecting a deep connection to both his cultural roots and global music trends. Whether it’s a heart-wrenching Hindi ballad, a soulful English verse, or an upbeat Punjabi hook his music feels lived-in, relatable, and emotionally rich.
He’s not chasing fame through mimicry he writes and composes all his own work, ensuring every lyric is authentic. His songs are born from late-night writing sessions, real conversations, and the human experiences that unite us all love, loss, laughter, and longing.
What’s Next: Nawabi Peg & Global Collabs
Shivanshu is currently developing his second music album one that dives even deeper into themes of resilience, pain, and personal growth. On October 15, 2025, he will release a much-anticipated new track titled “Nawabi Peg”, blending Hindi-urban influences with his signature emotional edge.
He is also working on a collaboration with ReGL, a fellow independent artist, to create a bilingual Hindi-English single promising a fusion of vibes that span cultures and continents.
