What do you do in the music industry:
As Senior Marketing Manager of Z2 Entertainment (Boulder Theater, Fox Theatre, Aggie Theatre), my job is to encourage folks to see live music! Eight years ago, in my senior year at CU Boulder and in need of internship credit, I got my first taste of the music industry as a publicity intern for boutique music management company United Interests. I had no idea it would lead me to a full-time career in sharing music with people. Shout out to my very first supervisor, Annie Rix, for sparking this passion!
Why does representation matter?
Latest Release: ELLSWORTH, Rosethorn Records, Jan. 29, 2021
About: It was just another day in the small town of Camp Sherman, Oregon when 8-year-old Megan Rose Ellsworth picked up her dad’s guitar. She stretched her pudgy, kid fingers across the neck, and gleefully plucked the strings. Her father noticed her love of music and taught her a few chords, unknowingly spurring within Megan a yearning that would fuel the trajectory of her life. She soon surpassed her father’s ability to teach and began writing and performing whenever she got the chance. Now a graduate from two of the University of Colorado Denver’s award-winning programs, Music Business and Songwriting, she is living her passion as a touring folk singer-songwriter under her last name, ELLSWORTH.
