JEM MANUEL JOINS PRS GUITARS AS AN OFFICIAL ARTIST

JEM MANUEL JOINS PRS AS AN OFFICIAL ARTIST

A New Milestone for December Avenue’s Sound and Story

Every band has moments that quietly reshape who they are. Not the loud, celebratory ones — but the milestones earned through years of discipline, persistence, and an unshakeable dedication to the craft. For December Avenue, this is one of those moments.

We are proud to share that Jem Manuel, our lead guitarist, is now an official artist for PRS Guitars (Paul Reed Smith) — one of the most respected guitar brands in the world. This recognition places him among a global roster of musicians who have shaped modern music across genres and generations.

For us, this isn’t just an endorsement.

It’s a statement of who Jem is as an artist.

And it’s a reminder of how far this band has grown together.

A Journey Built on Quiet Consistency

Anyone who has seen Jem work knows that his strength isn’t in flashy solos or over-the-top playing. His strength is intention. Texture. The ability to shape emotion through restraint — creating melodic lines that let the songs breathe, move, and live.

PRS recognizing that artistry is a milestone he rightfully earned.

Why PRS Matters

PRS Guitars is known worldwide for craftsmanship, tone, and artistry. It’s a brand built on passion — something we’ve always valued as a band. Being part of the PRS Artist Family means Jem now stands alongside musicians he grew up watching, studying, and admiring.

It also means elevating our live sound, shaping our studio production, and giving fans a deeper, more refined musical experience. This milestone is not just for Jem. It’s for everyone who believes in December Avenue’s music.

A Win for the Band, a Win for OPM

Endorsements like this don’t just highlight individual talent. They place Filipino artists on the global map — proving that our musicians can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world.

For the band, Jem’s PRS milestone is a reminder of what dedication can build. It’s fuel for the next era. And it’s a sign that the sound we’ve worked hard to evolve is being recognized far beyond our shores.

A Message of Gratitude

To PRS Guitars — thank you for believing in Jem’s artistry.

To the fans — thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting the music that allows moments like this to happen.
