The prestigious Gibson Artist Spotlight program returns for 2026, shining a light on today’s most promising rising music stars. Gibson empowers emerging artists with the tools and visibility to accelerate their careers and reach new audiences worldwide
As part of the Gibson commitment to artist-first culture and elevating new music from emerging musicians around the world, the Gibson Artist Spotlight program highlights an evolving roster of musicians who are celebrated across Gibson global and international channels.
The Gibson Artist Spotlight roster celebrates, promotes, and supports a handpicked group of talented artists who demonstrate exceptional innovation and artistry in their craft. The Artist Spotlight program debuts a new artist each month, connecting them with the Gibson global audience through Gibson.com, social media channels, advertising campaigns, Gibson Garage events, and features on the Gibson Gazette and other music media outlets, helping their music reach a wide international audience.
“Through in-depth features, hands-on mentorship, and partnerships across the industry, we launched Artist Spotlight in 2024 to champion emerging musicians on a global stage—from Europe and Asia to North and South America,” says Jenny Marsh, Global Director of Cultural Influence at Gibson. “Music is healing. Music is joy. Our mission is to amplify it for the world.”
