Gumbs ’09 Featured in Nike Ad with Ken Griffey Jr.

Nathaniel Gumbs ’09 (Bachelor of Music in Performance) recently collaborated with Nike on a new national television commercial featuring baseball icon Ken Griffey Jr. Although the ad shows Griffey Jr. playing the organ, the music heard throughout the spot is performed by Gumbs.

“Excited to share the full version of the Nike commercial I had the chance to work on,” said Gumbs on Facebook. “The producer told me to go wild — so I tried. Grateful for the opportunity and the amazing team behind this project.”
