Brady Gerber (me) is a writer, journalist, and guest lecturer who’s been featured in New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Hollywood Reporter, and more. I’m also the author of The Elements of Artificial Intelligence and Koopa. I’m based in Los Angeles and originally from Indiana.
What else:
🎵 I mostly write about music. In a former life, I was a musician, and a friend once called me the dad rock critic at New York Magazine. (She’s not wrong.) Check out some of my recent features.
🤖 I also write about tech, data, and accessibility, as a retired software engineer and freelance technical writer and data analyst who wants to make the world more accessible. I have a few technical guides, projects, and wireframes.
👌 I sometimes call myself a “creative technologist.” Really, I’m just a curious guy who turns complex ideas into simple stories. I’m the music and tech nerd making your life easier, and more interesting.
You can also see me in The Ringer, Interview Magazine, Stereogum, FADER, SPIN, Literary Hub, The New York Times, NPR, and more.
Subscribe to my OPE! newsletter for my weekly column and exclusive links and song recommendations. OPE! is also a podcast and on YouTube.
You can find me on LinkedIn, too.
I also guest lecture to students and professionals on how to write good pitches. One student called my presentation “The Brady Gerber Six-Point Pitch.” The name stuck. Invite me to your classroom, office, or workshop and we can teach it together.
Or just email to say hello.
