About Simon Singleton

I'm the Music Programmer at global agency FRUKT, part of Octagon Worldwide. I've worked with brands and artists from all over the world, programming music events in over 50 countries, from the UK and France, to China and Brazil, and working across many music properties including artist partnerships, festivals, live tours, and club nights. Over the years, I've programmed events and managed talent and rights for clients including Mastercard (Rugby World Cup 2023), Coca-Cola (Euro 2024), Accor Hotels (ibis, Mercure, Novotel), Asahi (Peroni, Meantime), Jägermeister (Jägerhaus festival stage), Nandos, Foot Locker, and LEGO. I've worked across a wide range of music projects for brands, including curation and programming, audience/industry research and analysis, music creative, music sync/clearance, editorial, social media management and monitoring, and content creation. I've been working in the music industry since 2003, starting with eight years managing one of the UK’s leading independent music brands Pure Groove before working freelance with various clients and joining FRUKT in 2012. I also run my own music festival SHAKE THE HIGH ROAD, which takes over multiple venues in Leytonstone each May.
