Louisiana native Brian Edwards has enjoyed a successful career in the entertainment industry as a multi-award winning celebrity talent executive, producer, writer and occasional performer. Over the past thirty years, he has worked with such celebrities as Joan Rivers, Cindy Crawford, Susan Sarandon, Sharon Stone, Shirley Jones, Naomi Judd, Pam Tillis, Ali Landry, Tiffany Fallon, Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa Williams - just to name a few.

After working as an executive assistant to legendary 5-Grammy Award winner Donna Summer for six years, Brian landed a position in 1995 as the assistant to famed talent agent Betty Fanning, then Vice-President of Commercials at the William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills.

 In 1998, he moved over to American Movie Classics (AMC) and WE: Women's Entertainment Networks as their Manager of Celebrity Talent for five years, where he served as Talent Executive / Talent Producer for three Emmy Award winning shows: In 2001, "Reel Models: The First Women Of Film", Hosted by: Barbra Streisand - featuring Susan Sarandon, Hilary Swank and Minnie Driver; In 2002 - "Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel", Hosted by Whoopi Goldberg; and in 2004, for the series "When I Was A Girl," Narrated by: Charlize Theron and Kristin Davis. Other work includes Talent Executive / Talent Producer for over 30 CMT: Country Music Television specials.

Edwards was honored by The International Press Academy in 2012 with the Satellite Award for "Outstanding Contribution To The Field of Entertainment" presented to him by Cindy Crawford, becoming only the third recipient of this honor in the academy's history. He received a Special Recognition Honor from the Recording Academy for his participation on the 1997 song "Carry On" by Donna Summer, which won the first Grammy ever presented in the category for "Best Dance Recording."  He also co-starred in the Pam Tillis video "I Said A Prayer," which won the CMT Music Award as one of the "Top Ten Videos of 1998."

As an independent celebrity publicist, Edwards’ solo campaigns have resulted in a record five stars on the Hollywood Walk-Of-Fame for: Joan Rivers, Donna Summer, Whoopi Goldberg, Vanessa Williams and Rascal Flatts.

His autobiography “Enter Miss Thang,” published in the fall of 2013, became a national best seller winning several awards along the way, including top honors at The National Indie Excellence Awards, The International Book Awards and the IBPA Awards, ultimately becoming the most honored LGBT non-fiction book of 2014.

That same year, as part of the promotional tour for “Enter Miss Thang”, Edwards finally returned home to Covington, LA after nearly a two-decade absence. He received several honors during his “Homecoming Week” including the key to the city, presented to him by Mayor Michael Cooper, who declared it “Brian Edwards Week In Covington” and the “2014 Honorary Life Patron Award” from Playmaker’s Theatre, Inc.

Edwards recently produced two highly acclaimed exhibits on iconic legends Joan Rivers and Donna Summer at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles: The Grammy Museum Presents Donna Summer: Four Seasons Of Love (7/14 thru 4/15) and The Grammy Museum Presents Joan Rivers: Can We Talk? (6/15 thru 9/15)

In September of 2015, Edwards served as a judge for the 95th Annual Miss America telecast – a lifelong dream come true.  And during that same week, another dream came true as he orchestrated Vanessa Williams’ triumphant return to the pageant 32 years after she made history as the first African-American Miss America.

Later that year, he made a cameo in the independent feature, “Tarnished Notes” shot on location in North Carolina, in addition to making numerous appearances at lecture events across the country in support of Enter Miss Thang.

An active member of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Brian also supports various charitable organizations including God’s Love We Deliver.

While continuing his work in the area of Celebrity Client Relations for various networks and select clients, Brian divides his time between Los Angeles, New York and London.
