Ian Westbury is a fictional British musician, portrayed by Dominic Keating, a British actor. He was created as part of an advertising campaign for the relaunch of Sprint's music store in 2007.[1][2]
As the former lead singer of Fierce Blue Ascot, which had one top-10 hit in the 1980s, Ian acts as a guide – the "Mix Sherpa" – to Sprint's music store. Long-retired from performing, he is portrayed as running a record store on Melrose in Los Angeles, California.[3]
