Bio

Craig Seymour is an acclaimed journalist who has been writing about music—mostly black music—for more than two decades. He has written for The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Vibe, Paste, Spin, and other publications. He has also served as Pop Music Critic for The Buffalo News and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

He is the author of the biography Luther: The Life and Longing of Luther Vandross (HarperCollins, 2004), which was nominated for Best Biography by the Georgia Writers Association and Best Research in Recorded Rhythm & Blues, Soul or Gospel Music by the Association for Recorded Sound Research.

His journalistic research materials are housed as “The Craig Seymour Collection” at Indiana University's Archives of African American Music and Culture.

He wrote his first music review at age 13, while a correspondent for Newsbag, a children’s television show on WTTG in his hometown of Washington, D.C. The review was a rave of Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force’s “Planet Rock,” which is now acknowledged as an electro hip-hop classic. Unfortunately, producers would only let him play the instrumental on-air for fear that rapping would alienate the audience.
