After launching her career as an intern at Roc-A-Fella Records at 16 years old, the John Jay College graduate managed culturally shifting content including releases from Cam'ron and Dipset, Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, Nas' Hip Hop Is Dead and JAY Z's The Black Album. "My first day at Roc-A-Fella, I was empowered," remembers the Harlem native. When I saw a woman that looked like me, I didn't know that was called 'representation. I thought, 'I can do this. I'm not going anywhere."
Those lessons fueled her subsequent success at Def Jam (Product Manager), Atlantic Records (Vice President of Marketing), Warner Bros (Sr. Vice President), and she served as the General Manager/ Partner at Alamo Records. At Roc Nation, Bryant's priorities are boosting the music label's talent roster & ideating new opportunities for current artists. Bryant champions a combination of the traditionalist and futurist principles.
