ABOUT Leighanna Martin:
I’ve lived in Nashville my whole life and have always been a fan of the stories that songs tell, and the faces you don’t often see that are behind them. I started my career in entertainment merchandising, but publishing was always the dream, and I knew that I would end up in it eventually. Luckily, I achieved that goal this past year when I started working at Anthem as a creative coordinator. Now I work with a diverse roster of songwriters and artists, orchestrate strategic co-writes, pitch songs, and scout emerging talent!

Anthem’s unique approach combines the resources, power, and reach of a major with the agility, entrepreneurism, and soul of an independent.
