Grace VanderWaal's Signature Ukulele has been released by FMIC (Fender Musical Instruments Corporation). Coming Spring 2018– just days before the release of her first LP 'Just The Beginning.' Fender's popular artist signature models are oriented around product progression and storytelling, providing instruments tailored to the specific needs of the world's most famous musicians. VanderWaal is among a surge of younger artists and songwriters who are inspiring a whole new generation of players, having won the 11th season of NBC's top-rated America's Got Talent.
Grace has signed on as a Signature Artist for Fender, and her Signature Ukulele will be available in 2018. She's already making an impression, and we're honored to be a part of her musical journey Fender's CEO, Andy Mooney, stated. "We're looking forward to working together in the future to inspire future generations of musicians (including my daughter, who is learning to play the ukulele!)" "Fender is unquestionably the greatest in the industry. They've worked with a lot of great performers, so it's an honor for them to work with me to launch my own trademark ukulele line next year." According to VanderWaal.
"I'm excited to design these ukuleles, and I hope my fans will love them as much as I do." It's been a goal of mine to have my own unique ukulele that I can share with my followers so that others around the world can learn to play as well!".
Grace is the youngest Fender® Signature Series artist ever, as well as the brand's first partnership with a ukulele player, at the age of thirteen. With the Venice and Zuma models from Fender's current California Coast Series Ukuleles, the diva has recently been seen on her media tour and making her big-stage debut at Austin City Limits. With five new affordable soprano, tenor, and concert ukulele models, the California Coast Series Ukuleles provide a fresh perspective on the iconic ukulele.
Traditional 2x2 headstocks are featured on the Seaside and Rincon models, while the Venice, Zuma, and Montecito versions feature the instantly recognizable Fender Telecaster® headstock. In response to the instrument's rapidly growing popularity, these ukuleles cater to musicians of all ages and skill levels, providing the ideal transitional stepping stone for aspiring guitarists and the opportunity for experienced guitarists to expand their palette of sounds and instrument collection. VanderWaal's debut album, appropriately titled Just The Beginning, will be released on November 3rd, and Rolling Stone has branded him a "pop prodigy."
"Moonlight," the current chart-topper, is featured on the eagerly anticipated album. Grace collaborated with many award-winning producers and writers, including Ido Zmishlany (Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello), Kinetics & One Love (Hailee Steinfeld), Greg Wells (Katy Perry, Adele), Gregg Wattenberg (Train, Phillips Phillips), and Sean Douglas (Train, Phillips Phillips) (The Chainsmokers, Demi Lovato). Grace will embark on her sold-out U.S. headlining tour this fall.
On November 5, the 'Just The Beginning Tour' will take off in Los Angeles, with dates in Chicago, Boston, and New York City.
