Devil Down Records

Senior Reed Turchi is graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with something more than a degree. He’s leaving college with a business: a record label he built from the ground up as a sophomore in college. It’s called Devil Down Records and the roster of artists includes North Mississippi bluesmen and Turchi’s own band. The young musician and entrepreneur joins host Frank Stasio to talk about starting a successful business while still a student and what’s ahead for his career in the music industry. 

Longtime NPR correspondent Frank Stasio was named permanent host of The State of Things in June 2006. A native of Buffalo, Frank has been in radio since the age of 19. He began his public radio career at WOI in Ames, Iowa, where he was a magazine show anchor and the station's News Director.
