Ralph Torrefranca - Cuffed Up

Today’s friend of the podcast made his industry debut at just 16 years old – as the youngest DJ in Santa Barbara’s KJEE’s history. This led to an early career as a promoter – followed by stints as a touring crew member, a member of Conan O Brian’s music department, then time as a publicist, manager, freelance A&amp;R, and ultimately landing at Angry Mob Music in 2015 – a full-service publishing company in Los Angeles.     Needless to say, this guy KNOWS the business. Not only that, but he plays guitar, bass, drums, keys, and sings. Excited yet? Same.    So, without further ado, please welcome – the co-lead vocalist and guitarist of Cuffed Up, manager of Cape Francis, and IFS awarding-winning director and screenwriter – Angry Mob Music’s Senior Director of A&amp;R, Ralph Torrefranca.

S4 Ep63: Ralph Torrefranca

In the first episode of season two we sit down with Ralph Torrefranca who cut his teeth touring with bands in alternative music, sparking a decade long ride into management, artist development and licensing. An accomplished musician himself (Check out his band Cuffed Up), Ralph is driving developing artists into the mainstream and beyond. We talk about the importance of following your passion from day one, our mutual love of Conan O'Brien, and how timing is everything.
