The Full Lineup of 2021 Pulse Artists Is Here!
Posted Dec 15, 2020
Earlier this year we announced the Pulse Artist program - a new initiative that's all about discovering and supporting emerging PRS players who are out there making waves in their local music scenes. We launched Pulse with an initial group of eleven artists - our full roster now includes players from fourteen countries! These artists represent a diverse range of playing styles and reflect the global ambitions of the program.
Bev Fowler, PRS Director of Artist Relations, had this to say about the class of 2021 Pulse Artists:
“We were thrilled to receive so many applications from such talented players who already have a love for the PRS brand. There is so much undiscovered talent in the world of music, and we wanted to develop a program that helps to support influential regional players while helping fans and musicians discover each other. The Pulse Program has already produced those types of connections, and we hope this new community of artists continues to connect and grow.”
The process of finding talented local players 'making waves' in their music scene was made easier by relying on our network of awesome PRS dealers around the world. Below are quotes from two PRS dealers who helped bring some local talent to our attention.
"The Pulse program is a great way to expose PRS guitar players to a wider global audience. Backed by a community of music lovers, it taps into the reach, passion and legacy that IS PRS guitars. I feel very proud and humbled to be part of this program that shines brightly on rising talent. Gracias PRS Guitars!" – Andres Escobar, Guitarras 357
