About me.
Ralston Koop Turcotte is a multidisciplinary artist and compassionate leader dedicated to storytelling across music, theatre, and film. A musician since the age of four and an actor since eight, Ralston has grown into a dynamic songwriter, performer, producer, filmmaker, and community organizer who believes in the power of creativity to inspire meaningful change.
Beyond the stage and screen, Ralston is the Founder and President of Bake for Better, a grassroots nonprofit organization committed to spreading kindness and supporting individuals and families facing hunger. Through homemade baked goods and handwritten messages of encouragement, Bake for Better offers care and connection to people who might otherwise feel overlooked. The organization partners with local schools, scout troops, faith communities, and philanthropic groups to engage children and families in meaningful acts of service, creating a culture of empathy and generosity.
