Suvda Baarter – 

Since 2021, I have been immersed in the world of finance, passionately helping over 100 artist families navigate the often-overlooked world of financial planning. My goal is to extend this support to over one million artist families worldwide. With more than 30 years in the entertainment industry, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges artists face due to a lack of financial knowledge. I’ve seen countless artists make decisions that impacted their futures, and I lived through it myself.

The COVID-19 pandemic was an eye-opener for me. Our industry was one of the first to close and the last to reopen, leaving many of us without any income or safety net. With artists often self-employed and moving from contract to contract, most of us didn’t qualify for unemployment or relief benefits. This experience pushed me to search for solutions, to find ways to establish a financial backup plan, just as we have backup performers ready in case of injuries during shows. After six months of research, a friend invited me to a free financial literacy class, and that moment changed everything.

Now, I’m a licensed Financial Professional across all 50 states, including Hawaii and Puerto Rico, with Canada soon on the horizon. I am honored to be able to share this knowledge with my entertainment industry community and beyond. Helping others build financial security has become my passion, and it’s as rewarding as my contortion and aerial skills. I believe in having diverse skills, and for me, this financial knowledge is an essential one.

My mission is clear: “No Artists Left Behind.” I want to empower artists to take control of their financial futures. The earlier artists start saving, the more they can benefit from the power of compound interest and create a stable foundation for the future. This journey is about more than just individual success—it’s about lifting each other up.

If you’ve set up your own financial backup, share your story. Your referral could transform the life of a fellow artist, family member, or coworker. Rest assured, they’ll receive the same education and dedicated services. Together, we can make a difference: No artists left behind, and No family left behind.
