Scott Poulson-Bryant

My name is Scott Poulson-Bryant, I was born and raised in Long Island, New York, and I've wroked as a journalist and author for several years. Educated at Brown University (and presently a PhD student at Harvard), I was a co-founding editor of VIBE Magazine, and my writing has appeared in such publications as Rolling Stone, the New York Times, SPIN Magazine, Essence, Ebony, and the London Guardian. My journalism specialty was the celebrity profile, and I've interviewed and covered such artists and performers as Prince, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, R, Kelly, Eddie Murphy, LL Cool J, Ice Cube, Shaquille O'Neal, Dennis Rodman, and Will Smith.

I'm the author of HUNG: A Meditation on the Measure of Black Men in America and the forthcoming novel The VIPs.

I enjoy big page-turning novels, cable TV dramas, old movies, all kinds of music, and sneakers (particularly Adidas).
