Luiz Cesar Pimentel has lived in newsrooms for more than 30 years and witnessed, from the inside, much of the transformation of music into a digital product, data, and a battle for attention.
This century, he wrote about culture for outlets such as Rolling Stone, Elle, Roadie Crew, Sexy, Terra and Playboy. He was founder and partner of [ ] Zero magazine, executive editor of IstoÉ, and led content operations at MySpace, Jovem Pan and R7. He also passed through Folha de S.Paulo, Trip and UOL, covered stories in more than 30 countries, and was a correspondent in Asia.
He is the author of 15 nonfiction books. He writes like someone who still believes that listening to music is more than pressing play. Today he extends that inquiry into academia as a Master in Social Sciences, with specializations in AI and Big Data at the Poynter Institute and the University of California, Berkeley.
