Last year PRS Guitars launched the Pulse Artist Program, with the mission of discovering and showcasing leading local artists around the world. And that they did, with a roster of more than 80 guitarists representing a diverse range of playing styles from 14 countries.
Now, PRS has announced that it is accepting applications for its Pulse Artist Program Class of 2022.
The program aims to develop musicians and help them connect to a wider audience. The 2021 roster of guitarists released numerous albums, EPs and singles, interviewed with magazines, livestreamed performances and even helped PRS with product launches. Due to its success, all 2021 Pulse Artists will remain on the roster as the program grows into its second year.
Pulse Artists are also granted exclusive discounts on guitars, amps and accessories through their local Authorized PRS Dealer, and receive exposure through editorial content on the PRS Guitars website and posts on its social platforms. The goal is to promote these musicians and their art and help to connect more people through music.

“The Pulse Artist program also served as a stepping-stone for four guitarists from the 2021 roster who will be advancing to PRS’s Official Artist roster,” said PRS’s Bev Fowler. “They are Sophia Gripari, Jimena Fosado, German Gallardo, and Daniel Fonseca. These musicians have exhibited the skills and qualities that PRS looks for when extending an official artist endorsement, and we’re excited to continue to work with them.”
If you’re ready to take your place alongside the 2021 Pulse Artists, as well as established stars and PRS players like Carlos Santana, Mark Tremonti and John Mayer, apply now for the Pulse Artist Program Class of 2022.
Guitarists interested in becoming a 2022 PRS Pulse Artist can submit their application through any Authorized PRS Dealer or Distributor. Submissions for the 2022 class will be accepted through August 15. All applications will be reviewed by the PRS Artist Relations team.
