ATLANTA, GA – April 25, 2018 – Women in Music Atlanta will hold its first Leading Ladies panel on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at Georgia State University’s Creative Media Industries Institute.

“As a committee member of the Women in Music Atlanta Chapter, I am not only excited to help put this event together, but I am also excited to be a panelist alongside these amazing women,” Marto says. “Our goal is to create experiences that encourage collaboration and recognize our trailblazers in a male-dominated industry.”
