OUR STORY
BeFWD's founder Francesca Bondioli moved to London from Milan in 2006 to live where discovering new international music was an
everyday feature.
​​
In Milan she worked in radio introducing the newest international artists; once in London she studies music business and joined American magazine Empire Radio Magazine creating a UK segment to promote British artists.
She then worked as General Manager for independent label J.O.A.T. coordinating artists' campaigns and events.
​
Having worked in various fields of the music industry, Francesca realised that many British artists, music professionals and lifestyle brands were not able to easily access Europe so in January 2019 she created BeFWD to bridge the gap between European countries.
