Bowers & Wilkins x David Beckham
BOWERS & WILKINS HOSTS AN EVENING WITH DAVID BECKHAM TO CELEBRATE ITS NEW LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP
London, UK, 14th June 2024: British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins hosted An Evening with David Beckham, an special, exclusive event in West London to celebrate the launch of its long- term partnership with the British icon.
Award-winning music broadcaster, Lauren Laverne, hosted a special fireside chat exploring David Beckham’s personal relationship with music and the ever-present role it has played in his life. The conversation uncovered a lifelong love of music, influenced by his parents playing their favourite music around the house, through to the important role it played in his sporting career, and now with his own family where it is a shared passion enjoyed together.
“I love going to record stores, especially in London. I did that a lot when I used to go home when we had the odd weekend off. What I love now is that my youngest son Cruz is obsessed with going to record stores, always coming back with lots of different records.” David Beckham
The long-term partnership begins with a new campaign around Bowers & Wilkins’ award-winning noise-cancelling wireless headphone, the Px8, which offers David an unrivalled combination of outstanding performance, premium design and exceptional comfort.
In keeping with Bowers & Wilkins’s legacy of supporting music artists, Jordan Rakei, GRAMMY nominated and Abbey Road Studios’ first ‘Artist in Residence’ who has just released his latest album ‘The Loop’, performed an intimate and mesmerising live show.
“For me, it’s always been about the sound quality and that is one of the reasons why this partnership made sense. I’ve always been into the detail and the moment I sat down with Bowers & Wilkins, I knew that this was a partnership that I wanted to happen.” David Beckham
Bowers & Wilkins and David Beckham have partnered to create a unique alliance of style and sound, where David’s refined taste meets Bowers & Wilkins’ unwavering pursuit of perfection. As a long-term fan of the brand, David Beckham chose to collaborate with Bowers & Wilkins because of its unrivalled reputation for audio excellence, craftsmanship and class-leading, premium design.
