Susan Ferris is CEO of the Bohemia Group, an International Management Group, representing talent across the entertainment landscape, including a number of musicians and acting talent. A Boston native with a degree in theater and film from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Ferris found herself where many others have feared to tread, in the heart of the entertainment industry: Hollywood. As she learned the landscape, she worked at the Coast Playhouse for the world premieres of “Strange Snow” starring Jean Smart, Brian Kerwin, Dan Blocker, and “Bent” directed by David Marshall Grant.

Learning and honing her skills working at AM Records in Sales Marketing on bands: Soundgarden, The Neville Brothers, Tony Childs, Breath, The Dead Milkmen, Janet Jackson, and Extreme; and as a rock journalist for LA Rock Review and Thrasher, Ferris had developed great connections. It was after writing a piece on a local band that the direction her life changed dramatically. Based on that one article the band asked Ferris to manage them and eventually, Ferris launched her own management company.

There are now 17 managers that are part of the Bohemia Group representing more than 500 clients globally, producing films, TV and web series and a book about management by Ferris is also on the horizon.
