BuzzFeed video superstar Quinta Brunson has signed with leading talent agency ICM Partners.
Brunson, who has produced and starred in countless BuzzFeed clips — including the viral 9 Perks Of Being Short, which has clocked roughly 8 million views on YouTube to date — has generated over 50 million views for the publisher, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the signing. Brunson, 27, also created a BuzzFeed series for YouTube Red called Broke — for which she was nominated for a Streamy Award this year in the ‘Acting In A Comedy’ category.
Brunson, who is also a musician, has written for and voiced characters for Adult Swim’s animated Lazor Wulf series, and was selected last month by Montreal’s Just For Laughs comedy festival as one of seven honorees in its New Faces digital creators category. Brunson continues to be repped by manager Adam Segal of Generate and attorney John Begakis of the altView Law Group.
In February, ICM also signed the vlogger-actress Arden Rose.
