Ethan Kaplan is the head of all technology over at Warner Bros. Records. This works out well since the two things Ethan loves most in the world are music and technology. At WBR, Ethan’s responsible for all consumer facing web properties, technology initiatives, business development and research/development. Ethan comes from a background of conceptual art, film and technology. Prior to working at Warners, he received two Masters degrees in art from UC Santa Barbara, and pioneered the usage of the Internet in a large newspaper chain in the states. He also, at 16 years old, created the first R.E.M. website. He and Michael Stipe are now good friends. Accordingly, “Almost Famous” is his favorite movie. He blogs at blackrimglasses.com
