Balan Kashmir from Klang, Malaysia, a rapper best known to
his peers as the eclectic poet with Indian origins, and a humble playboy to his
fans. The leader of the Macha Magic Movement!
Balan Kashmir has worked as a solo rapper / song writer with
many established names and upcoming acts which he was privileged to meet and
greet along his years of climbing the ladder of success. He has written
alongside acts such as KLG Sqwad, Pete Teo, Joe Flizzow, Elvira, Sasi The Don,
Phlowtron, Reefa, Sakti, Saran, Phlowtron, Chakrasonic, DA MONSTA, Rabbit,
Psycho Mantra, Emcee David, Shab’d Clique and others talents.
Kashmir was blessed with the opportunity to work with producers such as Dnavigator, Damian Shorty Soul, ILLegal, Jamie Wilson, DJ Uno and DJ Fuzz as the years passed. More songs and mix-tape projects are in the pipelines, as he speaks.
Doing his part for the local music scene, Kashmir had a hand in co-organizing a major unity project which involved some 50 Malaysian musicians, actors and actresses dubbed Malaysian Artistes for Unity. He was featured in the theme song and video which was directed by Yasmeen Ahmad and two government related projects: Zoom Malaysia theme song and a video for Tourism Malaysia in 2008 as well as ‘Satu Suara’theme song and a video for the Kementerian Belia and Sukan in 2009.
Balan Kashmir has roped in his long time producer, Dnavigator to start work on his solo album and is currently performing live shows with the support of DJ Mastermind.
The project is scheduled for release very soon. The concept behind the album would see Kashmir exploring his mind and two languages: Tamil and English. He entwines his rhymes within both languages. This is sure to set him far ahead of the competition due to it being done with such finesse.
By setting up the blueprint of the coming-of-age album, Balan Kashmir is ready to prove to the world a type of swagger only a true born ‘macha’ possesses. Stay tuned to witness the aftermath.
