Ra Wilson
Coach for Holistic Songwriting Academy
Ra is coming to be by your side, giving you gentle guidance throughout the songwriting process, so you can finally make those songs real, which you've only dreamed of.
As a coach for Holistic Songwriting Academy, he shares his hard earned experience and skills with the students, and guides them through the process towards songwriting mastery.
He has been writing songs since the birth of the internet. After years of classical guitar noodling and flittering though jazz school he found himself signed to Universal and then Warner where he wrote charting songs that gathered quite a lot of streams . Ra is a trained Speech Level singer and has toured (festivals and headline shows) in over 20 countries.
Bruno Rocha
Coach for Holistic Songwriting Academy
Bruno is ready to guide you from breakthrough to breakthrough on this paradisal island, letting go of the everyday anxieties and stresses that keep you from completing the songs you were born to make.
As an HSA coach, he uses his knowledge to help students in completing their music projects, from the early ideas to fully finished songs.
He started writing songs in the early 2000s, first as a hobby, but in 2008 some of those songs were released on a solo album. In 2012 he released another album with his band Box, which completely comprised of original songs he wrote. A new EP was released a few years later. During Covid Bruno took online mixing/mastering courses, and now releases songs 100% written, produced, mixed and mastered by himself.

If your country is on the list: nothing to worry about.
It is not required that you are a member of the Holistic Songwriting Academy, though of course it is beneficial if you are and have already stepped-up your songwriting game.

At this moment, there are no more covid regulations for entering the country. You might wanna check with your local authorities before you travel just to make sure nothing changed, but right now, there's nothing to worry about. The only thing is you still need to wear masks on public transport here at the moment so maybe bring one just in case.
We can't wait to see you there!
