Larry Ciancia | John Common and Blinding Flashes of Light

Meet Larry Ciancia.  He's our manager.

A little background: he grew up in an unnamed Eastern Block country.  He worked for the "bad guys", investigating revolutionaries and helping them "move on to better things".  There wasn't a lot of money in official party security, so he moved to where the action was: Iraq.

With grim determination, he rose rapidly through the ranks of the Republican Guard.  He was known as an "uncommonly talented interrogator" (yes, like Sayid from Lost).  An uncanny sense of timing led Larry to barely escape Bagdad ahead of oncoming Coalition Forces, carrying nothing but a suitcase filled with solid gold toilet handles, a ham radio, a ham sandwich and a wrinkled sandwich bag stuffed with 100 euro bills.  He landed in Los Angeles three days later and immediately found work as a "cleaner" for a local drug lord, pursuing his own "shock and awe campaign".

After losing a small fortune and 6 months of freedom as the result of an FBI sting operation, Larry found that he had a natural affinity for the music business. He brings all of his experience and skills to the job.

He often quotes an Albanian proverb: "Ai që ndërton me djersë, mbron me gjak."  (Loose translation: He who builds with sweat, defends with blood.)

Larry is a Virgo, enjoys Italian cooking, and water color painting.
