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.
