London-based music company Bella Figura Music is only a few years old, but it's growing rapidly. Co-founded by Alexi Cory-Smith and Neelesh Prabhu, and with funding from his Freshstream private equity fund, Bella Figura, a former BMG executive, is primarily based on songwriters and producers. He has won many top titles in his catalogue. This includes Robbie Williams, David Gray, R3HAB, Placebo, The Wombats, Dashboard Confessional, Darrell Brown, and more.
Natalie Hayes, Managing Director of RAK Group of Companies, said: “My parents started RAK Publishing 55 years ago. I grew up knowing many of the RAK writers because they often vacationed together. It's been a real honor to manage such an amazing catalog, and I'm so happy that the Bella Figura Music team shares the boutique ethos and takes over the reins, and I know they will cherish such great songs. I already know.”
Cory-Smith, co-founder and CEO of Bella Figura Music, said: I have loved these songs and artists since I was a child. When I was young and watched Hot Chocolate on Top of the Pops, I was fascinated by Errol Brown. People don't realize how innovative and important a band they were. But we have a plan for it – and I just wanted to be Kim Wilde – when Kids in America came out, I wanted to cut my hair off and go crazy like her. I was suspended from school for doing oxide treatment (I was about 13). RAK are icons of British music and it is no exaggeration to say that this signing ranks among the proudest achievements of my career. We realize that Vera Figura has become one of them, and we pinch ourselves every day to do our best to preserve and promote their wonderful legacy. ”
