CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Featured panelists from Def Jam and Interscope Records will be in attendance during the first Charlotte Hornets Music Industry Night of the 2021-22 season.

The Charlotte Hornets hosted the first Music Industry Night as an event to bring the music scene together in the Carolinas and provide an opportunity for aspiring musicians to network and be heard.
