关于这一集
The first conversation in this series was with composer and pianist Simeon Walker and was facilitated by our project coordinator Lins Wilson.
After a decade working as a musician, Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene, following the release of his EP Preface, and two albums Mono and Winnow, with Winnow being released in November 2020.
In recent years, Simeon has performed & toured across the UK and Europe, including supporting S. Carey, Sebastian Plano & Loscil, also appearing at Latitude Festival, Q3Ambientfest, FAN Festival and a range of concerts shows and live music events.
His music is regularly played on BBC Radio 3 alongside BBC 6Music, BBC World Service & BBC Introducing, KEXP and NeoFM, his music has been streamed 10 million times across platforms.
In this episode, we discussed the support that Sim has received through Launchpad, Help Musicians and how he was one of the first awardees of the new ring-fenced Momentum Accelerator fund for artists in Yorkshire. We threw in a dash of love for Leeds and Yorkshire and the importance of perseverance and constant learning.
