Setting The Pulse: Praise & Worship
Posted Dec 17, 2024
Daniel Britt-Stocker
Our first Pulse Artist from Switzerland, Daniel is entering his second year in the program. Coming from a background in progressive metal, he spent years performing in a band called WeRDust before joining the St. Gallen chapter of the ICF (International Christian Fellowship) worship band. Ultimately, he would transfer to ICF Zurich in the winter of 2018, where he found his home. A typical year for Daniel with ICF Worship entails up to four European tours, two musicals, conferences, services and annual EP releases.
Dani: “With the Pulse program, a dream that I have been nurturing for 15 years came true. I was now allowed to be a PRS Artist and the first person to do so in the small country of Switzerland! This has encouraged me to give it my all again and all the musicians who are part of the worldwide ICF Movement have seen that this is also possible for us. The cooperation with PRS is great - they are all such good-hearted people, and I feel the support of the Artist Relations team every day. Also, through this Pulse program, I was able to make a deal with my local dealer (MusiX) to have PRS guitars of my choice sent to my home for free so I can test them live on stage!”
Leeland Thompson
Born in Memphis, Tennessee but a long-time resident of Mississippi, Leeland is also entering his second year as a Pulse Artist. Picking up both the electric guitar and bass at age eight, Leeland has been playing professionally since eighteen. In addition to his skills as an instrumentalist and performer, Leeland has arranged and produced for multiple musical collectives from all over the world. Leeland currently serves as the lead guitarist for John P. Kee & New Life Community Choir, Darrel Petties & Take 2, and Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church Olive Branch, also known as “The High Place”. He is also the recipient of the 2023 Golden Triangle Award for Male Musician Of The Year.
Leeland: “Being a PRS Pulse Artist has allowed me to connect with so many other amazing guitarists across the globe and has introduced me into a family that truly honors their artists with instruments that cater to our needs. PRS is more than just another company, it's a family for guitarists who love quality instruments that can be used in any genre of music. I've played PRS Guitars way before becoming a Pulse artist and I've found that every PRS Guitar that I've ever played is in a class of its own. The reason I play PRS Guitars is simply because every note feels alive in my hands-crafted with precision, built for performance, and infused with soul. It's more than just a guitar; it's an instrument that inspires my music and elevates my sound"
