An indie rock track with stacks of distorted guitars. Pounding drums and overdriven bass thunder along in this massive anthemic track.

How It All Started - An indie rock anthem inspired by The 1975

Edina Balint is a Romanian-Canadian indie pop singer-songwriter whose music transforms introspection into evocative stories. Influenced by artists like City and Colour, and Bon Iver, her sound blends the narratives of folk storytelling with the ethereal textures of chamber pop and ambient folk, drawing comparisons to artists like Julien Baker.

Edina’s journey into music began at eight years old when a grand piano in her classroom captivated her imagination. The moment ignited a lifelong passion, leading her to start classical piano lessons the following year. As her skills grew, she taught herself guitar and, by twelve, wrote her first song. A decade of formal piano training and her love for storytelling became the foundation of her evolving artistry, blending rich emotional depth with vivid, imagery-filled lyrics.

Through reflective themes of love, doubt, self-growth, the state of the world, and connection with nature, Edina’s songs invite listeners into moments of reflection and discovery. Her piano-driven textures and introspective, evocative lyrics create atmospheric soundscapes that feel both nostalgic and captivating, channeling personal experiences into universal perspectives.

Since her 2018 debut, Edina Balint has released two EPs. In 2024, she signed with Rexius Records, embarking on an exciting new chapter to share more of her evocative soundscapes with the world.
