Jess Kangalee is the Founder/Director of broadcast media promotions company Good Energy PR. With 15 years of cumulative experience working in promotions across artists, events and festivals, Jess founded Good Energy PR in 2019 with a specific ethos – a holistic approach to inclusion, creating space and promoting marginalised artists across broadcast media platforms.

Good Energy is the only QPOC run broadcast media PR company in the UK that prioritises multi-genre artists that are queer and/or global majority. Current roster includes acts like Big Joanie, Cakes Da Killa, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Grove, Future Bubblers, The Linda Lindas, Nubya Garcia, Moor Mother, Mykki Blanco, Rochelle Jordan, TOKiMONSTA and Yazmin Lacey to name a few.

Throughout the span of her career Jess has worked across a large variety of acts, notably Bombay Bicycle Club, Caribou, M83, Metronomy, Moses Sumney, Phoebe Bridgers, Run The Jewels, serpentwithfeet and Sharon Van Etten + Lovebox, Green Man, Wilderness and Citadel festivals amongst other.

In addition to Good Energy, Jess has worked in a consulting/supportive capacity across several music industry organisations including AIM, Black Music Coalition, Women In Control, UK Music, Launch Pad and has mentored via ilikenetworking and Power Up.

As well as joining Music Week's Women in Music Roll of Honour last year, Jess was nominated for AIM’s Music Entrepreneur of the year in 2023, and was included in She Said So’s 2020 Alt List.

Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene, performing and touring extensively across the UK and Europe. He has supported S. Carey, Neil Cowley, LYR, Submotion Orchestra, Loscil & Erland Cooper and performed notable live sets at Latitude & Timber Festivals. In addition to his acclaimed first two albums 'Mono' and 'Winnow', he will conduct a 28-date UK tour in Autumn 2023 in support of his latest 'Imprints' release, whilst his piece ‘Reverie’ features on the first official Piano Day compilation by Berlin-based LEITER label, alongside Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and Chilly Gonzales.

Regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3, BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, KEXP and Scala Radio, his music has received overall listening figures in excess of 30 million streams across platforms. He also founded and curates Brudenell Piano Sessions - an intimate and varied live music series highlighting the diverse music being composed and performed on the piano, hosted at Leeds’ iconic Brudenell Social Club.

Having received funding support from Help Musicians, PRS Foundation and Arts Council England for his work as an independent artist, Simeon also performs regularly across numerous genres and contexts, whilst also working as a freelance session musician, composer & arranger, educator and consultant.
