With a “mini-lifetime” of experience in the music and entertainment industry, Sue, mother and prior manager of Hollywood/Disney recording artists, Everlife, has delved and many times found herself thrown into, every aspect of the music industry. With a grass roots approach and a “unique to the artist alone” mindset, Sue has helped create individual foundations for an artist to stand and then walk on. These foundations turned into plans that have literally seen businesses expand almost immediately. Having put her energies into a young, unknown band with a passion to “share” that has now seen national recognition, has given her a huge heart for the Independent artist and helping to bring their success to fruition.

As creator and owner of The Inner Vizion Management Consulting Agency, a myriad of independent artists have experienced her unique ability to bring out distinctive avenues of their gifts and use them to build their ministry/career with the total picture in mind. She has also been a co-founder/promoter of many events, including Godstock, Back to the Music GMA Showcase and The Tsunami Rock Benefit show, to name a few. Her teaching ability was sparked from her involvement as a Life Skills teacher and counselor for Hitek Industries in Orlando, FL, visionary and instructor of LEA (Leadership, Evangelism and the Arts), teaching theatrical drama for church organizations and through the home schooling of her three daughters. She has been a keynote speaker for various youth seminars, women and leadership events, parent training seminars and our own CIA Summit.

With fervor for missions, Sue has participated and has been involved in leadership on the mission field with Teen World Outreach, Big World Ventures, Food for the Hungry and began her own short-term mission organization called Pilgrims of Hope. She just recently returned from Bolivia, where she spent time with two independent bands who shared their music abroad. Sue has authored many articles, press releases, bios and is currently finishing her first ideas for independent music artists book, “Managing Your Band the Indie Way”.

She has handled publicity for various artists, including Nashville top 20 recording artist, Andrew Carlton and Walden Media/Bristol Bay Productions for the movie Amazing Grace that was released this spring to theaters nationwide.

“Instead of thanking us, it should be US thanking YOU. You brought us vision, passion, strong contacts, and an impeccable work ethic to the Nashville market. Not incidentally, Nashville was one of our top performing markets. We cannot thank you enough. Thanks for passing this story on.”- Clayton Ferguson, Walden Media, Los Angeles, CA.

Indieheaven President, Keith Mohr states, “With all of this experience behind her, I believe Sue will be a vital addition to the resources that we offer to our current and future members.
