The debut Gibson Spotlight Artist, Austin Sexton, told us the program brought him hope. He said, “It shows me that no matter how big your social numbers or social perception, good music gets to the people it needs to get to. The fact I get to work with this team almost feels life-changing and gives me, as a very hard-working indie artist, inspiration that anything is possible.”
Beth Heidt, Chief Marketing Officer at Gibson, says, “Our global artist relations team has collectively spent decades at Gibson advocating for and supporting our artists and their music. At our core, we are music lovers, and we want to share that love of music with our fans.
“Our goal with the Artist Spotlight program is to build connections through music. That’s what we do every day, and the Artist Spotlight Program is another way for us to build those connections and share our love of music.”
