Jesse Walker has been a key supporter of underground music, forward thinking design, art and culture in Salt Lake City since the mid-nineties. He was already making waves in his early teens throwing outlaw 'rave' parties and an annual Alternative Music Festival when he decided to leave his home of Idaho Falls, Idaho for Salt Lake City, Utah. Since then Jesse's curiosity for design, the arts and music have taken him to the four corners of the Earth while making him a cultural barometer and a voice for positive change in the American West.

Mr. Walker's commitment to trying new ideas combined with a love for his community keep him brimming with infectious energy. He has a way of bringing people of different stripes together and when he's not playing host to some of the most respected DJ's in the country, Jesse can be heard mixing his own uncompromising blend of intelligent, eclectic music at a wide range of events. From galleries, festivals and fashion shows, to rock concerts or the airwaves, he rarely shies away from challenging himself or the conventions of society. In recent years he has collaborated on large scale multimedia installations with New York based artist Gary Vlasic including "Dark Horse, Fallen Shadows," a 48-hour soundscape/performance piece for the Salt Lake Art Center and, "Reflective Skin," a massive sound and light installation produced for the 2006 Utah Arts Festival. His DJ credits include guest performances at the 2002 Winter Olympics, Sundance Film Festival(s), Salt Lake City's Gay Pride (one of the largest in the U.S.) and top billing with acts like WAR, Crystal Waters, EnVogue, Devotchka, Big Freedia, Pepe Deluxe and Brazilian Girls. Following several nominations, Walker was voted "Best DJ" by readers of Salt Lake City Weekly Magazine in 2008.

Jesse Walker founded NewCityMovement.com in 1998 to promote "future forward music, design and culture" in Utah and the Intermountian West. He is also the Chief Visual Consultant at Contact Design by day, a small graphics design studio in downtown Salt Lake.
