OUR TEAM

Jonathan Murray Bruce is the Executive Director of Silverbird Group (in Nigeria) who is currently the Vice-President of Dream Magic Studios in LA. Jonathan is no stranger to the entertainment industry.

Born into the family of a Nigerian business entertainment and political magnate, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, Jonathan has always wanted to keep expanding his family legacy of bridging the gap between first class entertainment from across the world to Africa. Growing up in both the US and Nigeria, Jonathan spent his summer vacation in Nigeria working as an intern at Rythem 93.7 FM. Shortly after getting his BA Degree in Business Administration at Chapman University, he briefly worked as an intern at Galaxy Theatre in Las Vegas. In March of 2006, Jonathan relocated to Lagos, to pursue his dreams of expanding quality entertainment across Africa, promoting wholesome family entertainment.

For more than a decade, Jonathan has held progressive positions as a leader of more than 100 staff in Silverbird Group as a Program Manager; for STV, GM of Cinema, and an ED of Silverbird Group. Finally, his dreams of expansions came to reality as he now heads Dream Magic Studios in LA.

Jonathan currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.

Andres was born in the quiet colonial town of Popayan, Colombia in 1972. It isn’t surprising that his father’s interest in photography soon would rub off on him at an early age, Andres found a special interest in photography and so his father gave him his first still camera and the basic knowledge of composition and lighting. Little did he know he had sparked a flame that would last a lifetime.

Andres’ love for photography grew substantially throughout his childhood and never faltered. By age 14, his family settled in New York City. Moving to the United State was more than just a move to a different country. Along with the new environment came new perceptions of lighting and the flame inside of Andres grew more intense. His appreciation of lighting continued to grow and seemed to find a purpose when he started Film School. There, Andres’ earlier perceptions found a new partner; the concept of motion pictures.

Now, in his forties, Andres feels accomplished not only as a cinematographer but, as an editor and colorist. The over 20 years of professional experience has brought Andres great opportunities to not only execute on the field, but also to give back in the classroom. Andres’ thirst for knowledge and further understanding of motion pictures, as a medium and as an industry, is as strong as ever. That little boy’s flame from Popayan has never faded.

Tiazia “Ty” Coleman hails from the Bronx, New York but was raised in Laurel, Maryland.

Ty became interested in make-up in high school where she then decided she wanted to become a celebrity make-up artist. On a leap of faith, Ty left the east coast and headed to Hollywood, California. She then enrolled in school for cinematic make-up at Cinema Makeup School.

Shortly thereafter, Ty landed a job as a make-up artist at Dream Magic Studios LA. In this capacity, she was the make-up artist for all the talent on the TV shows that were created at the studio. Her clientele began to grow and was able to work with Serayah McNeil of the red-hot TV series, “Empire”, TV sitcom legend Tisha Campbell, and a plethora of other celebrities. Ty’s future is bright; her goal is to launch her own make-up boutique while continuing to cement her place as a global, celebrity make-up artist.

She love the drama and beauty make-up creates. It drives her. It’s her passion.

If it ones thing she knows for sure, “Do what makes you happy. If it doesn’t make you happy, then don’t do it.”
