Entertainers Academy
A home for independent artists who want to build sustainable careers by mastering live entertainment, real-world connection, and repeatable shows that fund their creative work.
Entertainers Academy exists to help independent artists, especially singing pianists and singing guitarists, build careers that actually work in the real world.
Not theory. Not hustle culture. Not chasing algorithms. We focus on the science of the live show: how to read rooms, lead energy, design moments, and turn real-time human connection into income, fans, and long-term sustainability.
If you want a music career that supports your life instead of consuming it, you’re in the right place.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS & INSTRUCTORS
Entertainers Academy was founded by Susan and Cliff Prowse, a married, independent country music duo and working live entertainers.
Susan is a singing pianist shaped by years in piano bars, where reading rooms, leading energy, and creating moments are non-negotiable skills. Cliff is a singing guitarist whose discipline and musicianship anchor high-energy, interactive shows.
Together, they built a sustainable independent career by learning how to make live shows pay the bills first. That foundation allowed them to fund original music, build their own studio, tour internationally, and grow a loyal fanbase without relying on labels or gatekeepers.
Everything taught inside the Entertainers Academy comes from lived experience in real rooms with real audiences.
