This week’s Billboard Executive Turntable Column featured the news that Ralph Torrefranca from Angry Mob was promoted to Executive Director, Writer Creative.
Ralph Torrefranca has been promoted to executive director of writer creative at Angry Mob Music Group, where he has been a key player since 2015. Torrefranca has significantly contributed to the success of hits like “My Fault” by Shaboozey and “She Likes It” by Russell Dickerson. He has also fostered the growth of writers and producers such as Bus and Bailey Bryan. In his new role, Torrefranca will continue to oversee the creative development of Angry Mob’s roster and expand his influence across company projects. He founded The New Normal, an inclusive writing camp that highlights underrepresented voices in music, with over 70% women participation and representation from over 10 cultural backgrounds. Torrefranca is based in L.A. and will continue to report to Angry Mob’s CEO Marc Caruso, who said “his ability to work with and develop relationships that reach the core of who our writers and artists are as humans and creatives is incredibly unique and unlike any other A&R in music publishing.”
