Meet the Man with Words

Charlie Mangold is a music industry veteran with over 30 years of experience as a producer, composer, singer, and songwriter. Mentored by the legendary Phil Ramone, Charlie credits much of his artistry and career success to Ramone’s guidance.
Beyond the studio, Charlie is the heart behind The Mangold Music Foundation, which brings the healing power of music to children facing cancer by providing instruments and education. Studied in jazz composition from the New England Conservatory of Music, Charlie spends his downtime enjoying life’s quieter moments—sleeping, sipping, and cuddling with his loyal cat, Tiberius.
