Psychic About Sound. Damon DeGraff is CEO and Partner of dGi Management, a New York-based artist management company. Its talent, recording artists, DJs, record producers, and visual artists, are among the most critically acclaimed and in-demand in their respective genres. Top clients include and have included Beverly Bond, DJ Cassidy, DJ Kiss, Chelsea Leyland, DJ Ruckus, The Misshapes, Paul Sevigny, Rev Run, Mia Moretti, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Pauly D, Kat DeLuna and many more. DeGraff is single-handedly responsible for creating what is known today as the “celebrity dj”. His first client was a young Mark Ronson, and on this episode, we discuss dGi's early days, and the beginning and building of Mark’s career. We also talk about how Damon, a kid from the island of Bermuda, got his start, including his evolution to providing the music for the biggest, best, and most exclusive celebrity and fashion parties and events that have ever existed. (And we even get into the details of what went down at a few of his favorites). We talk about what his role really means for the clients he represents and how culture has changed. We chat about the music and entertainment industries at the beginning of his career in the late 90’s and early 2000’s versus now, and what he’s currently working on. Damon has a wit, a style, a charm, and a swag that’s all his own and he has a list of contacts and clients that attest to how that, along with hustle, talent, and hard work have made him a notable name in music and entertainment.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
