Hindi inaasahan ni Raisa Chua-Bergola na ang isang simpleng movie night kasama ang kaibigan ay magiging tulay sa pagpasok niya sa mundo ng event production. Mula sa pagiging housewife siya ay naging accidental producer, patunay na minsan ang pinaka-hindi inaasahang sandali ay maaaring magbukas ng mga pagkakataong magbabago ng buhay.


KEY POINTS
  • Itinatag noong 2023, ang kanyang Australian-based events team ay nakatutok sa musikang Pilipino at kultura sa pamamagitan ng world-class na mga konsyerto at community-focused na mga event.
  • Ang kanilang team ay nagdala ng ilan sa pinakamalalaking music icons ng Pilipinas sa Queensland, kabilang ang Eraserheads, Parokya ni Edgar, Moira Dela Torre, at Maestro Ryan Cayabyab.

My path to concerts and events began when I produced my very first major show with Moira. Iit was passion at first sight; I knew instantly this was where I was meant to be. Over the past two years, while navigating big changes in both my private life and career, I’ve discovered that producing concerts is more than a job for me: it’s a way to give back, connect people, and find my own strength.
