The artist known as Ralph Larenzo was actually birthed as Aaron Sanchez on March 4, 1995 in Manhattan NY. He adopted his stage name Ralph Larenzo, combining the first names of each of his grandfathers, Ralph and Lorenzo. Both of them had musical backgrounds and influenced the artist to follow in their foot steps. His other inspiration was the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, who Ralph had been imitating since the age of 4. His decision to pursue his passion as a career came at the age of 13 in the 8th grade, triggered from a hobby of making songs using the I am T-Pain app. Coupled with his tactics of singing and dancing to impress girls in school, his talent as a singer and dancer was birthed. Purchasing a laptop and microphone his senior year of high school, Ralph was determined to pursue heights equal to or greater to that his idols have accomplished.
