Back – and Better Than Ever Photos taken by Wai Mulqueen
Zeal Artist Collective hath returned, with a pretty new face and fresh purpose; to promote free and informative dialogue for those in the NZ music, recording and creative industries. This goes for both in person and online, and maybe elsewhere, depending on how they go. Each monthly workshop at Zeal Artist Collective features industry experts sharing valuable insights on a range of topics. They'll be talking about recording, promo, music vids, copyright and how to get big like Lorde. An open forum is provided at the end of each workshop, where attendees can ask questions and engage in dialogue. Clips of Zeal Artist Collective talks have been uploaded to YouTube and made accessible to that kid in Motueka writing great trap beats, as well as others. So Far, So Good Over the past few months, this forum for young creative folks has run some fantastic chat sessions with voices of the NZ music and entertainment industry. The August event featured a panel on social media, including Paul McLaney (Mushroom Music Group), Connor Nestor (TVNZ U), Izzy Lo Iacono (Rhythm and Vines) and Dan Clist (Kiwi FM). Videos from the evening are now

Here’s what people are saying about Zeal Artist Collective: “[Artist Collective] sounds rad,” – RANDA
The September event focused on festivals, gigs, touring and event management. It featured a panel including Sarin Moddle (95bfm), Ryan Kershaw (IMNZ, NZ Underground Festival) and Savina Kim (The Edge venues). Get Involved Zeal Artist Collective is a free event held on the second Wednesday of each month, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Zeal West (in Auckland). Stay tuned via Facebook. Come along to the next event, which will cover the topic 'Radio and Music Videos'. Held on November 13, it will feature NZ On Air, a top radio plugger, a television programmer and a rock star or two.
“If it was going when I was in my prime teenage years I probably would have spent more time in West Auckland,” – CONNOR NESTOR “Artist Collective does some brilliant stuff for young artists, much like TV penguins did for me when I was younger, specifically Pingu and the Kiwi icon Squirt”– DAN CLIST “I wish I had a place like this when I was younger”– SAVINA KIM
