Bryan Barber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bryan Barber is a music video and motion picture director. He has directed many music videos for popular artists such as "Roses" and "Hey Ya!" by OutKast, "Think Twice" by Eve 6, "Stunt 101" by G-Unit, "Girl" by Destiny's Child, "Wouldn't Get Far" by The Game and "Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera. Barber has gained stature within the music video industry for his ability to break out of the cliches that have dogged the music video business. Barber's videos convey a classic mood often taken from previous era hits like Grease. Barber made his feature film debut with Idlewild, a musical starring OutKast based in the 1930s.

Barber graduated from Sacramento, CA Hiram Johnson High School in 1988. He graduated from Clark Atlanta University in 1996 with a degree in Mass Communications.
