- A veteran of the Philippine independent rock scene since the late '90s, his experience as a drummer and songwriter helps add a personal touch to some of his musical articles.
Experience
Lorenzo has been working for online publications as a freelance writer since 2010 and a copy editor since 2017. His work has appeared on sites such as The Inquisitr, where he mainly specialized in NBA, NFL, WWE, and UFC news and rumors, and TheSportster, where he mostly published NBA and professional wrestling listicles. He joined Static Media as a writer for Grunge and an editor for Looper in early 2021. As a writer for the former site, he uses his wide knowledge of sports (and sports entertainment) and music minutiae from past decades to the present to craft informative and engaging articles about these topics.
Education
Lorenzo has a degree in business management from De La Salle University in Manila, Philippines. He developed an interest in writing thanks to the few literature classes he took in college and began writing short stories during his junior year — none of them won any prizes. Still, his love for all forms of writing remains as strong as ever more than two decades later.
