Over eight years ago, we launched the first edition of the Zero To 60 (ZT60) program to support performing musicians. A musician's team provides guidance through accountability, encouragement, and education. Building a team can be one of the most difficult aspects of the musician's job. That's where the ZT60 Artist Coach comes in.
The ZT60 Artist Coach guides musicians for about the cost of a college course, and provides the foundation for an artist’s success in the industry. Artist Coaches understand a ZT60 musician intends to release music and become a confident performer. ZT60 is designed to work with the artist personality and develop their brand in line with these goals. The ZT60 program is affordable without sacrificing quality. Affordability is a core ZT60 value.
We believe that motivated artists should have the opportunity to succeed. Finances should not be the main cause preventing success as an artist. We are proud that we have not raised our prices since 2017. Still, we recognize that some talented artists might not be able to participate in the ZT60 community and program services due to financial constraints.
Thus, we are thrilled to launch the Zero to 60 Scholarship. It's something we've envisioned since we started, and we're so glad to make this happen now.
The scholarship tagline, "Imagination Into Action," encompasses the motivated artist. It's about the aspiring musician who dreams big and invests in themselves. Finances don't stop them. It's the musician who leverages "free time" to learn a new instrument and find co-writers. They have family members who work second jobs so the artist can keep creating.
The ZT60 Scholarship provides the funding and guidance needed to help artists thrive in this industry.
Applications will be open March 1 to April 5, 2021 at https://agdentertainment.com/scholarship. One recipient will receive a full ride to cover their nine month experience with the ZT60 program. We will also offer two to three partial ZT60 scholarships.
We are very excited to elevate some incredible talent and look forward to the impact this will have within our community and the greater music industry.
