The ESP Guitar Company

ESP sends our congratulations to Musicians Institute Fall 2014 ESP Bass Scholarship winner Victor Kusaka. Victor hails from Vacaville, CA, and is a versatile instrumental, metal and punk rock bass player. As part of his scholarship prize, Victor has received an ESP E-II AP-5 bass in Tobacco Sunburst finish. Asked why he chose to study in the Bass Program at MI, Victor states: “I chose MI because it’s not a traditional college. It’s very modern and has tons of great resources. I love the fact that it’s right on Hollywood Blvd, where the heart of the music industry is.”

While at MI, Victor is focusing on studying bass performance as well as the music business. He adds that his career goals and musical aspirations involve “touring and the music business. I would love to perform in a touring band or become some sort of band/tour manager.” ESP has been a partner of Musicians Institute for many years, and encourages everyone to look at MI's excellent programs for expanding your potential as a musician.
