Thousands gather each April in Music City for GMA Music Week.

With all music genres represented including pop, rock, praise & worship, black gospel, R&B, hip hop, southern gospel, country, and more, GMA Music Week is the must-attend convention of the year for anyone doing business in or with the Gospel music community.

“The coming year will bring many challenges for our industry, just as it has for the overall economy. In light of the challenges, it has been more important to engage together so that, together, we might take stock of trends affecting our industry; explore better ways to do our jobs and to discover the new and rising artists,” said Styll.
