LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Nov. 2-3 in Los Angeles, Rosedale Collective is launching Cohort Zero: a two-day gathering that brings three of the most promising and exciting musicians of color together for an intensive program of workshops.

The two-day event will culminate in a showcase hosted by country music star Turner and actor Furly Mac for the three artists on Nov. 3 at the Gibson Showroom in Los Angeles for 100 of the leading industry and brand executives and culture creators.

"This is a dream opportunity for these artists. What a gift it is to be given time, support, and feedback to create your best work," said Rissi Palmer. "I'm honored to be a part of this process and look forward to learning a thing or two myself!"
