Genres and Iconic Fender Guitars
Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC), the world’s leading guitar maker and one of the most iconic voices in music, today announced a new endeavor with Apple, which has named the brand an official playlist curator. Fender joins a roster of more than 66
high-profile curators, including top brands, record labels and editorial voices in the music and entertainment space; they include: Beats by Dr. Dre, Nike, Complex, Rolling Stone, Disney, VICE, Pitchfork and more.
Accessible via iTunes® and Apple Music®, five unique playlists are filled with hand-selected tracks that embody all things Fender and the celebrated artists that have – and continue – to wield its legendary guitars. Spanning more than seven decades and countless genres, Fender’s playlists are as diverse as the music created with its guitars, featuring tunes from classic rock icons to the next generation of emerging artists experimenting with guitars in a new way.
“We’re pleased to partner with Apple, to bring a Fender-curated music experience to long-time Fender fans and those just discovering the brand,” said Evan Jones, CMO at Fender. “Whether it’s falling in love with the next up-and-coming artist or rediscovering one of the most epic guitar solos ever recorded on a Stratocaster® – these five new playlists honor a diverse range of iconic artists and visionaries, and an emerging generation of artists, who are driving guitar and music forward.”
