A Decade of Influence in Entertainment

With over a decade of immersion in the entertainment industry, Debra Sue's influence resonates far and wide. She has served as a guiding light for artists spanning various genres, curating and sponsoring electrifying live shows across the United States. Debra's commitment is so unwavering that she often foots the bill for statewide tours. When asked about her motivation, she explains, "It has always been very important to me to help artists open their minds to opportunities beyond their comfort zones, expand their fan base beyond local boundaries, and collaborate with artists nationwide. It's all about growth, seeking opportunities outside one's city, and evolving as an artist."

Debra Sue's passion for music stems from her personal experience as a performer, having graced the stage with numerous bands and supported renowned artists. Despite her flourishing medical career, which demanded significant time and dedication, she returned to her musical roots upon retirement. She established a Teleradiology Risk Management/Consulting company and transformed a building near Toledo's historic downtown into "The Compound." This multifaceted hub mirrors a mini-Motown, housing a beauty/nail salon, a dedicated area for recording live interviews/podcasts spotlighting local artists and business owners, a notary public service, tax preparation assistance, incorporation/trademark guidance, a small clothing boutique, and an educational space for industry enthusiasts. Debra's publishing prowess has also empowered individuals to become published authors, a testament to her commitment to realizing dreams. "If you have a story to tell, I can help you bring it to life," she asserts. Harnessing her extensive education and management background, she skillfully oversees these ventures today. Debra Sue now dedicates the majority of her time to mentoring a select group of serious artists willing to invest in their careers and embrace a demanding path that few are resolute enough to traverse. "I appreciate all artists, producers, DJs, and like-minded individuals, but my focus is unyielding, leaving no room for procrastination or doubt. Know your goals and find a way to achieve them. Period."




Champion of History and Community

As a seasoned entrepreneur and community advocate, Debra Sue is deeply committed to preserving Toledo's historic landmarks. She serves as a board member for two historic preservation committees/groups and actively contributes as an officer on a committee dedicated to aiding the homeless, with a particular emphasis on women and children. Founding Glass City Talent Recording Studio allowed Debra Sue to connect with young talents, transforming their passion for music into a tangible reality. Sadly, due to the onset of Covid-19, Debra had to shutter the studio after just three years of operation, as public establishments were temporarily halted. When asked about the possibility of reopening that segment of her business, she responds, "It's not entirely ruled out, but with the concept of home studio/recording now prevalent, it's highly uncertain. As mentioned before, I don't favor dealing with uncertainty. That chapter had its time; it aided countless artists and music students, helping them develop their music from sheets to reality. However, for me, that era has largely passed. The demand isn't the same post-Covid."

In her leisure moments, Debra Sue seeks solace in the serenity of nature. She relishes the opportunity to spend time in her quiet sanctuary, a rarity amidst her bustling life. She harbors dreams of venturing into clothing design, but her primary aspiration is to instill a strong work ethic and a pursuit of education in her grandchildren, emphasizing their non-negotiable importance. What lies ahead for this dynamic woman? Having been a contributing magazine consultant and radio personality, Debra Sue continually seeks to enhance her professional journey by exploring opportunities in airway communication. She established and operated Legacy419Radio, introducing numerous local artists to iHeartRadio studios for widespread exposure. At present, she contemplates several offers in the realm of radio and TV correspondence and senior consultancy. She is also fervently promoting her flagship artist, the talented MAC NOVA, hailing from Detroit. Debra Sue is convinced that Mac Nova is a game-changer in the music industry, poised to restore respect to the art. "Look him up... you'll thank me later," she exclaims.
