Hello and thanks for stopping by.

Daithi Rua is my stage name. I’m an Irish singer songwriter based in Belgium with over 30 years of experience in the music business. I’ve toured extensively all over mainland Europe and further afield. I’ve had the honour to tour and write with some of the finest musicians and songwriters on the scene. A couple of years prior to Corona and lockdowns, I had been tiring of road life and wanted to find another way forward within the music business. Audio and video production had always appealed to me. Back around 2013 in the city of Ghent, my little home recording studio nicknamed ‘The Rua Room’ was in full swing and it was instrumental in my own songwriting and production work. Over time it also served many other great artists in the creation of their own masterpieces.

By 2018 I wanted to step the productions up a notch and also create a YouTube channel. This gave me the creative outlet I craved. I really felt I was giving something back to the music business and the channel allowed me to showcase awesome songwriting talent from Belgium and beyond. ‘Songs From The Rua Room’ YouTube channel was born. I hope you enjoy all the content posted on the channel, especially the songs and songwriters I showcase and that you will dig deeper into their music catalogues, share the videos and buy their music. 

The Rua Room project would not exist without the very kind donations and sponsoring from wonderful individuals behind the scenes. I’m extremely grateful for their contributions, big and small. I want to give a special mention to Cafe De Loge (Ghent’s finest singer songwriter venue) who got behind the project from the start. You can check out recorded performances on the ’Tuesday circle at De Loge’ playlist on the channel. A huge thank you also to all the great companies I’m proud to be associated with and who are behind the project and the music 100% (See: Great Gear link) Last but by no means least, thanks to YOU the listener and viewer for not only supporting the Rua Room Project but for supporting the artists who so graciously give me their time, energy and talent to make this channel and studio what it is. 

The Rua Room has since moved away from Ghent (only 30 mins by car/train don’t worry) and is now located in Waarschoot (Lievegem) The Rua Room offers a warm friendly atmosphere with plenty of tea or coffee where you can record at your leisure, take guitar lessons, write songs, or even just  take a walk in the nearby woods to find inspiration. You can book the Rua Room for your next audio/video project, in-house or on location. Make contact for a friendly quote and lets get creative.

“Singing in The Rua Room is an absolute must for every songwriter! Make sure to say yes if you get the invite. ~Eva De Roovere
