The successful artist Tom Twers achieved gold status in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with his single “Falle für dich”. The former pop music design student received the awards as part of his sold-out tour, which was attended by a total of 12,000 people. Tom has also reached third place in the German album charts with his new EP “Ein Ja Reicht” and now has over 300 million streams.

Bene Prüwer and his company Better Way Management are responsible for the management of Tom Twers. Bene is a graduate of the music business course at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg and has been self-employed in the field of artist management and A&R consulting since 2020.

NEEVE is currently celebrating success in China and has built up over 100,000 followers on “RedNot”, the Chinese TikTok alternative, in just a few weeks.
