Blathazar Background

 

Balthazar means "protector" to some extent, and the group thought of that name collectively. In the current lineup, there are five band members: Jinte Deprez, Simon Casier, Maarten Devoldere, Michiel Balcaen, and Tjis Delbeke. The original group started back in 2004 and began making small tracks here and there. Some members of the group appeared on Belgian singing contests and won, ultimately helping their group to get more popular.

 

In 2007, they released their first single, "This is a Flirt," which was picked up on the radio. That song also crept into second place on the Belgian music charts. From there, they've picked up a lot of speed with their music production and seem to be focusing on studio time over stage time.
