Past music ambassadors
Shawn King
In 2017, then-Governor John Hickenlooper and Colorado Creative Industries chose Shawn King as Colorado’s first music ambassador for his outstanding creative, professional and social contributions to the state. King is the drummer of Colorado-based band DeVotchKa. In addition to his exemplary creative activities, King works with Colorado businesses to increase music licensing opportunities for Colorado musicians in film, on television and online through the Colorado Music Licensing Project. He also leads workshops around the state on music licensing. Learn more about him.

The Rural Jump-Start Program helps economically distressed communities attract new businesses and jobs. Counties, municipalities, and higher education institutions work together to apply for this program.
When a community is a designated rural jump-start zone, new businesses can receive incentive payments and tax relief including credits, exemptions, and refunds from:
- state income tax
- state sales and use tax
- county and municipal personal property taxes
Employees of new businesses receive a grant for starting a new business and a tax credit for 100% of state income taxes on their wages for work in the rural jump-start zone.
The Rural Jump-Start Program began in January 2016 and will accept applications through December 31, 2025.
