NXNE - Balisi

Balisi is an artist born in the Philippines, rooted in Moroccan heritage, and raised in Canada. Her music reflects movement across cultures, lived experience, and inner worlds. Against the odds, she found her way to music as a space to explore identity, belonging, and personal growth. Her sound blends hypnotic rhythms, ethereal melodies, and introspective lyricism, carried by a voice that feels both intimate and otherworldly. With Toronto as her creative home, Balisi tells stories of urban life, love, and resilience, using music as a space for honesty, connection, and fearless self-expression.
