#UrbanBeatProject Acoustic Sessions is a simple idea formed out of a simple need to showcase some of the best artists from across the globe, in a more stripped down, acoustic format. Each episode is curated with love and care.
In this second episode, we had the unique opportunity to bring together New Delhi based singer-songwriter - Aditya Balani - and legendary Bristol based double bassist & world beatbox champion - Bellatrix.
