Head-and-shoulders portrait of Ballu Flute in a red turban with fine gold stripes and a black velvet sherwani, smiling at the camera against a plain grey backdrop.

Baljinder Singh, known on stage as Ballu Flute.

Two thousand performances across India and abroad. Three decades with a single instrument.

For generations the bansuri lived almost entirely inside classical music. Ballu Flute took it somewhere else: into Bollywood, into film songs, into the melodies people already carry with them. In doing so he changed what an audience expects a flute to be able to say, and made it contemporary without making it shallow.

He did not begin here. Trained as a civil engineer, he built a professional life in engineering while the flute stayed alongside it and refused to leave. His first teacher was Shri Gauri Shanker Yadav ji, whose own devotion to music became the example he followed. What began as a passion became, in time, the whole of the work.

Nearly thirty years later it has taken him from wedding celebrations to national and international stages.

When he plays, the flute doesn't merely produce music. It creates emotion, tells a story, and reaches straight into the hearts of everyone listening.

Alongside the bansuri he plays the digital saxophone, an electronic wind instrument that lets a single player voice saxophone, shehnai, strings and more than a hundred other timbres live.

Ballu Flute, seen from behind on stage with the bansuri raised, faces a dark auditorium lit by the audience's phone torches.
