And, Brian's wife and partner in crime is
Audrey Beharie-McGee. Audrey has been involved in the music, entertainment and associated industry for nearly 40 years as a singer, songwriter, producer and vocal and performing arts coach, and has worked for some prestigious and well known music industry orientated contact so has a vast experience in the world of music, beauty and entertainment. Audrey was trained at the prestigious finishing school - "The London Academy of Modeling" in London, England by the renowned modeling coach, writer and body language expert, Judi James, who has trained some of the biggest names in the industry. And, 1983, she was signed by Sir Peter Waterman, the owner of PWL Records and All Boys Music, as a singer/songwriter and then signed a major recording contract with Polydor Records. Whilst signed at Polydor, Audrey also worked for MCA Records in London with the stellar and reputable major acts signed to the label in their London office as a Promotions Coordinator creating promotional tours, campaigns, liaising with key contacts at radio across the UK, and being a perfect Ambassador for MCA and the roster of artists. |
This would allowed Audrey to be able to “marry” and see the workings of all facets and mechanics of both sides of the industry – as an artist signed to a label and as the record label itself label – and forge out an extension of her experience, knowledge and wisdom within the business.
With the skills, experience and insight gained from her opportunities, and concentrated on applying these talents, Audrey formed her own label - Raja Records - to promote their product, devise marketing strategies and sell to record shops, distributors both domestically in the UK and abroad. And, after 30 years, you are still able to purchase the track on Ebay or Amazon!! And, in 1988, she had the honor to work for Sir Paul McCartney, the late Linda McCartney and The McCartney family at their private offices in London, UK. In an event to give something positive, tangible and inspirational to the up-and-coming talent, Vocal Zones, B.R.E. Productions, Inner City Groove Records and Hourglass Studios was born in 1996. Without any funding whatsoever, Audrey went about creating a safe shelter, inspiration haven and nurturing environment to a great many raw but talented individuals, up and coming producers, engineers and songwriters using her skills acquired, vocal and performing arts as a vehicle where she would coach, mentor and inspire in whatever way she could to allow them to make excellent inroads into their careers, to make them bloom, blossom and thrive under the protection of her wings. If you ask Audrey, she will always tell you that this truly was God's Gift to her to be able to fulfill a divine purpose and that "she" herself is just the "humanity" required to do so. Over the past 25 years, also staged in excess of 60 talent showcases and events in the UK which she felt was necessary to allow the growth of confidence and hone and perfect their personal and performing arts skills. Audrey arrived in Atlanta GA from London, UK in 2009 and re-established her vocal and performing arts academy, Vocal Zones USA, and The Miss Teen Dream Pageant System, as well as the creation of Fashion 4wardz and Virtuoso Entertainments. Together with Brian's stellar reputation, credentials and knowledge, The Art Of McGee and Photographer By McGee are also an intrinsic part of B.R.E Productions International, Inc. organization and, pending the health and safety protocols relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, hope to successfully travel to London, UK to open their London office in June 2021.

Jason was born in 1988 and, since birth, has always been fully ensconced within the world of music, arts and entertainment.
Since the age of 8, Jason became familiarized within the music industry where his mother, Audrey, would introduce him to the ins and out, behind the scenes and backstage disciplines required to run a recording studio and production company. However, in 2015, Jason's flame was ignited when he was asked to work as a PA for his cousin, the amazing American actress, Nicole Beharie on "Sleepy Hollow" for Fox TV. Within this environment, Jason was able to concisely learn, take in and understand all the facets that were required to create such an incredible series and develop an appreciation for the art of filmmaking and the industry as a whole. The fate was sealed and Jason returned to the UK with a clear mind of his career path and the ultimate dream to aspire to become a Director of Photography. His fascination further blossomed as he became more enthralled and excited with the logistics from "behind" the lens, the intricacies of lighting, staging and developing on-screen narratives through the art of visual storytelling, as mentored and encouraged by Brian, his step-father's, and own 30 year journey within the film industry. |
