Cassie Marte
Artist Outreach
Meet Cassie, Marketing and Social Media. She is a junior student-athlete marketing major at Lehigh University. When she isn’t in class or playing lacrosse you can find her baking banana bread and hanging out with friends. Musically, she loves anything that would make her want to drive around aimlessly (with the windows down of course). At In The Room, she hopes to be introduced to new artists and gain insight into startup culture.

Eve Freed
Artist Outreach, Founding Team
Meet Eve, Artist Outreach. You might misidentify her as introvert who prefers to stay home with her cats. But what you don’t know is that pre-pandemic you could have found her front row at her favorite venues in Philly on any given weekend singing along to every song. A writer herself, she joined In The Room so she could ask artists about the backstories behind their lyrics.
Jack Curtis
Engineering, Founding Team
Meet Jack, the Engineer. He is an avid music consumer with a fancy for live gigs. When he isn’t writing code, he can be found crowd surfing as the frontman for his Mac DeMarco cover band. He says he joined the team as chief programmer “for the music,” but we all know In The Room is his self-indulgent way of going to concerts. He is still haunted by the time he accidentally wrote Hungry Like the Wolf.
Anna Gillis
Design, Founding Team
Meet Anna, the Designer. Anna is an artist and designer with a passion for websites, oil painting, and house music. You can normally find her showing up late to the party or scheming about food spots. She joined In The Room after a year of live music-less solitude and realizing that dancing alone in your apartment just isn’t as fun.
