Balasai, an extremely talented flautist of the younger generation, has created waves in the sphere of Carnatic music in recent years. His clean confident blowing totally sruti aligned and his sensitive finger technique absolutely flawless are reflections of Balasai's impressive commitment to Carnatic music. He is an approved artiste of the A.I.R and Doordarshan and is featured regularly by prestigious music organizations during their monthly and annual programmes.

Oothukkadu Venkata Subbaiyer was a great devotee of Lord Krishna, whose divine music on the flute is believed to have mesmerized one and all. It is but appropriate that several songs of this unique composer should have been rendered on the flute by Balasai with total involvement to surface the melodic and rhythmic beauty of these compositions.
