Welcome to the Wonderful World of Bretony!
Hello everyone! My name is Bretony Amber McGee. I was born in Detroit, Michigan. Year? Unimportant. What IS important is the fact that from the tender age of 3, I had already adapted to life on film, as my parents would record most of mine and my sisters childhood antics. I began to dabble in writing, directing, producing, and starring in a number of unreleased family films. I graduated from Cass Tech High School and then went to Wayne State University to study Psychology (I didn't graduate, but I decided I was finished). Bretony Speaks The Truth was my first, and most popular blog to date. It spanned a total of 9 years! Gettin' By was my first independent video series project, which was well received by the early YouTube community.
I moved to NYC in 2009 because... I really love NYC! I mostly love the fact that there are so many different cultures here to explore, all in a few cozy 302.6 square miles of land.
While in NYC I've done a bit of runway/print modeling, and a few very small TV appearances while continuing my Gettin' By web series and blog. I perform in a number of mediums (including but not limited to; dance, music, speaking, and hosting) around New York and wherever else I end up. Occasionally, the creative juices will flow and I'll make a few tangible items here and there, which include handmade crochet wear, knitwear, hand sewn bags, and paintings. Creating art in ANY medium is truly my passion! While still enjoying the casual spontaneity of life here in NYC, I travel the world whenever I can and experience everything that pops into my head! Join me in my random adventures...
P.s. I heard you aren't supposed to do your bio in first person. Is this true? Why the heck not?
