- Leo is a lifelong music obsessive who began writing songs on the family keyboard when he was 10 years old.
- He is constantly on the lookout for overlooked pop and rock auteurs to get into, from Joan Armatrading to Junko Yagami to Angela Ro Ro, and will happily give you a complete ranking of Yoko Ono's studio discography.
- He is a low bass who has sung and arranged for a cappella vocal groups, and is currently recording his own music.
Experience
Leo has been writing about entertainment and pop culture for several years now, with bylines at Looper, Slashfilm, and TVLine. While his focus has historically been on television and film, music has always been one of his driving passions, exercised through discography deep dives, late-night Rate Your Music scouring sessions, and a decade-long Last.fm catalogue ranging from Miriam Makeba to PinkPantheress. He loves dissecting, discussing, and writing about music almost as much as he loves listening to it, and is always eager to learn more about its winding, endlessly rich global history.
Education
Leo has a bachelor's degree in film from Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado.
