Brant Cox
LA Editorial Lead
Brant Cox is a native Illinoisan and also can’t believe that’s how you spell Illinoisan. He’s been with The Infatuation since 2015, during which time he’s written thousands of guides and reviews, all while keeping the LA office up to its knees in Trader Joe’s hummus. Prior to joining The Infatuation, Brant could be seen performing everywhere from The Groundlings to The Second City in Chicago, and prior to that, he used to hide Kraft singles in his socks so his parents wouldn’t know he was hoarding slices as a kid. Brant currently resides in West Hollywood with his boyfriend and two imaginary corgis.
