Spotify Technology S A : Around the World With Our Spotify Studios Producers, Editors, and Engineers

About four years ago, I was living in New York and started listening to podcasts. I quite like the medium-length ones because I'm able to listen while I work, or just whenever. It's super easy to get fresh information on the go with podcasts and listen to any type of story or true crime, or my favorite: roundtables about music.

Back in Brazil, I had noticed there was a hole in the podcast market, so I filled it with my very ownPodcast Sem Nome, Porém Preto(Untitled Podcast, but a Black One)with five friends-making it the first Brazilian podcast specifically targeted for worldwide film production with Black people involved in any part of the process. It's a safe and fun space to talk about films, series, TV shows, videos, and all content created, produced, or starred by Black people-we filled a gap. And this is what motivates me with my role at Spotify: finding new voices and good content from different backgrounds, filling the lack of content and gaps in the Brazilian podcast market, offering creators a space to develop their skills with the best structure we can offer to show their potential, and being open-minded to the many opportunities I can create as soon as see them.

What's something you're working on right now that you're excited about?

My first project with Spotify isMano a Mano, which is very exciting in every kind of way. I love being able to work on a show so important for Brazilian culture and using my expertise to help develop and mold such a good show for the listeners. So every day is a challenge to keep up the good numbers and quality, and this really excites me. In the meantime, I have also been working on some other shows launching next year that give me goosebumps, but I can't tell you about them yet.
