A veteran of the punk, post-punk/new wave, and reggae scenes since the 1970s, Vivien Goldman is a renowned writer, musician, and educator. Through her music and her journalism, she has played a significant role in merging punk and new wave with African and Caribbean rhythms, writing about numerous styles of music, and recording with countless musicians ranging from reggae legend Prince Far I to Soft Machine co-founder Robert Wyatt. Her 1981 single "Launderette" became an essential example of the dubbier side of post-punk, and in 2021, now simultaneously a living legend of underground culture and an NYU professor, Goldman released Next Is Now, an album with her first new solo music in decades.
Vivien Goldman has also released music as a member of The Flying Lizards, Chantage, and The 49 Americans.
