The first episode features British singer-songwriter, Joy Crookes who shares the strong women in her life who have supported her, such as her mum, grandma and her friends.
“I take pride in their hustle, their ability to never say the word ‘no’, and to keep going and keep fighting through thick and thin”.
In the video she is also holding an American Professional II Series stratocaster, which she endorsed for the manufacturer in November 2020.
Fender is not the only guitar manufacturer that is celebrating International Women’s Month, as Japanese ESP Guitars published a series of YouTube videos on International Women’s Day (8 March) promoting guitarists Alex S., Böse Fuchs, and Thalia Bellazecca.
In recent years, Fender has been seen to make an effort to appeal to a wider and more female consumer base, with the release of the Fender Player Series offering a new range of colours and lighter body-shapes which are built with female players in mind.
In addition, Fender’s subscription-based learning app ‘Fender Play’, which offered users free access during the lockdown, saw the gender balance on the app go from 70/30 to 55/45 male to female.
The date for the next episode of ‘My Rock’ is yet to be announced, but stay tuned on the Fender Facebook page.
