Motown Records to launch music accelerator programs in Detroit

Motown Records is gearing up to launch two music programs aimed at arming Detroit artists with the skills, connections and funds to take their careers to the next level.

"Detroit has always been a creative hub for new talent and development," Motown Records President Ethiopia Habtemariam said in the release. "With the Motown Musician Accelerator initiative, we have an opportunity to come back to Detroit and highlight the incredible talent that has always existed in their community. Being able to provide the necessary support, funding and programming to help them grow in their careers is an absolute honor for us."
