Vivien Goldman is a British journalist, writer and musician. She was born in London, the child of two German-Jewish refugees from N*zi Germany. She studied English and American literature at the University of Warwick. She began her career as a PR officer for Island Records.
Goldman lived in Paris for a year and a half, where she was a member of new wave duo Chantage, which gained modest fame in France. She released the "Dirty Washing EP" in 1981, with tracks produced by John Lydon and Adrian Sherwood. The EP appeared first on Ed Bahlman's iconic 99 Records imprint. Later the song "Launderette" was included on Gomma Records' "Anti NY" compilation and the Chicks On Speed-produced Girl Monster collection.
Goldman wrote for the music magazines NME, Sounds and Melody Maker about reggae, punk and post-punk. She was a founding member of The Flying Lizards, shared a flat with fellow NME journalist and Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde, wrote songs for artists such as Massive Attack, launched the video career of Flavor Flav, and penned the first biography of Bob Marley. Goldman is also an accomplished documentarian and adjunct professor of punk and reggae at New York University's (NYU) Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music.
In Jan 2007, BBC America began a regular Ask The Punk Professor feature on their website with Goldman answering questions and commenting on current events
