Key Contributors

Rob Kipa-Williams

Founder & Executive Producer

One day after meditating I decided to watch a movie.  That movie was Moana and from that moment on I have felt a tireless desire to bring the heartbeat of Polynesia to the world through meditation. A desire to explore all our Polynesian similarities and celebrate our differences and to explore my ancestral origins.

Opetaia Foa’i

Music Producer

Opetaia’s contribution to the Moana movie soundtrack led to the soundtrack spending 23 weeks in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart (peaking at no. 2) and a single from it We Know the Way spending 2 weeks on the Billboard Top 100. In November of 2017, Moana won “Top Soundtrack” in the American Music Awards (AMAs) and was nominated in the 60th Grammy Awards for “Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media”. Opetaia Foa’i composed and wrote the music for the HAAAA app along with Malcolm Smith.
