GET TO KNOW: RADA



Having already helped to promote new and emerging talent these last few years, RADA now returns with 'Together We Are Stronger', a powerful, collaborative track that embodies unity, resilience, and collective strength.


Produced by Mark Beling and written by Neil Engel, this inspirational anthem brings together the unique talents of artists iSandi, Ramelo, Pedro Barbosa, Lia Elise, Ross Learmonth, SEVVEN, Me-Ko, SONIQUE, SeanJ, and Mark Beling. The combined energy and passion of these artists shine through in a song that resonates deeply, delivering a message of strength through togetherness.


So with the new single available to stream now, we sat down with contributor Pedro Barbosa to find out more about his origins and influences over the years.



What was the first band or artist you fell in love with? 


So that is a tough one. Cause it starts at a young age, but according to my parents I was obsessed with Michael Jackson. And then I remember I was a huge fan of Bon Jovi. 


Did you ever form a band when you were younger and if so, what did they sound like? 


Yes I had a band in Mozambique when I was 16 called “Os Tais” which meant the Ones, it was a rock kinda band mix of English and Portuguese rock with a lot of ballads in the mix. 


What has been your primary inspiration in writing music? 


My life and what happens around me. I am a strong believer in Love and how it can move mountains, so love is a big part of my writing. All forms of love. From a lover to Loving coffee. Which I don't really lol. 


What is a song you wish you had written yourself? 


Fix you - Coldplay


If there was any moment in your career you could relive, what would it be? 


I don’t like to hold onto the past, so I'm more excited about the moments coming in to be honest, I think. I still have a lot to give. Not that I didn’t have great moments, its just they back there and i’m here now, so I try not to dwell on that. 


Which artist would you most love to share a stage with? 


Wow so many. But right now I think sharing a stage with ColdPlay would be amazing. Their shows are on another level, and I'm loving their new album right now. 


And is there an artist you would love to collaborate with as well? 


Coldplay, goodness I sound like I have an obsession don’t I? Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, and my Producer Mark Beling. But I gave up on Mark and still have hope on the other 3 though. 


Where do you see yourself in five years time? 


Ohhhhh… Remember about the moment in the past, same thing about the future. I don’t dwell on it. I work towards always achieving more and I have goals but I don’t create actual pictures in my head about it, it's so much better to live on now! So wherever I will be, I just hope I'm surrounded by happiness.
