Whatever Jade Simmons does, be it as a rockstar concert pianist, entrepreneur, or inspirational speaker, she has the knack of approaching it from an unexpected angle. Her classical piano recitals, for example, will take listeners on a journey from Haydn to hip-hop. She is the CEO of her own content distribution and transformational change company, Jade Media Global — an apt name as it reflects both the size of her mission and her 360° approach to personal development.
Simmons is a classically-trained pianist whose doesn’t so much blur the boundaries between genres as blow them up, bringing new dimensions to a form of music hundreds of years old. Her performance at SXSW, the world’s most important music industry showcase festival, was nominated as one of the best that year. Her talent for music and entrepreneurship are two things she has managed to intertwine and use to inspire others. This was evident back in 2011, with her debut eBook, Emerge Already! The Ultimate Guide to Career Building for Emerging Artists. It’s still present today in her inventive use of music in keynote speeches to corporations and their employees.
Among the brands that have dared to benefit from Simmons’ unique approach to storytelling are Netflix, Deloitte, Hershey, The Internal Institute of Auditors, and Yamaha. She has even performed at The White House. All of these and many others have benefitted from her uncanny knack of customising her message and her presentation to the needs and the people of whoever she is playing to. Whether at a leadership conference, University ceremony or the home of the leader of the free world, Jade Simmons will deliver an unforgettable experience.
