PRS Announces Record High with 5th Annual Pulse Artist Roster
PRS Guitars has announced its largest roster in the five-year history of the PRS Pulse Artist program. Nearly 20% bigger than any previous year, the class of 2025 comprises 137 artists from 27 countries including the U.S., reflecting the program’s global scope and range of playing styles. The 2025 PRS Pulse Artists, like their predecessors, are making waves in local music scenes throughout the world and in the online guitar community. Additionally, four artists from the class of 2024 will be graduating to Official Artist status, an increased level of support, effective October 15, 2024: Leoni Jane Kennedy (U.K.), Pannasit Sukahotu (Thailand), Tomo-Zo (Japan) and Dimitri Peters (U.S.).
“The global music scene is teeming with remarkable talent deserving widespread recognition,” said Bev Fowler, PRS Guitars director of artist and community relations. “We created the PRS Pulse Artist program five years ago to highlight and support these up-and-coming guitar players. Through their various genres, they are expressing themselves through music that needs to be heard on a massive scale. The program also serves to connect these musicians with each other and to their local guitar dealers, increasing opportunities for development through community.”
PRS Guitars launched the PRS Pulse Artist program to help influential guitar players form stronger relationships with their go-to retail store and each other. The goal is to amplify these musicians and their art and help to connect more people through music. Through the program, artists are granted exclusive discounts on guitars, amps, and accessories through their local authorized PRS dealer. They also receive exposure through editorial content on the PRS Guitars website and posts on its social platforms. Adding “PRS Pulse Artist” to their resume has also helped these players connect with venues and potential sponsors.
