Artist Profiles > Mark Ronson

He is a superstar DJ and producer. From hip hop to pop, Mark Ronson has taken a rise like no other since his first studio album in 2003. He has worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Boy George, Bruno Mars and Jack White, producing some of the biggest hits we know today. What's more, he has just released one of the biggest selling singles in the history of humanity in "Uptown Funk". Safe to say, he is a man of versatility.

An English boy, he moved to New York at 16, honing his skills on the drums, guitar and inevitably, the decks. Arguably his biggest success has been the making of the late, great Amy Winehouse, a dear friend of his. He produced a number of tracks for her album "Back to Black" in 2006, which shot her into superstardom. His biggest studio album was "Version", released in 2007, which featured a number of collaborations, covering various hits with his own funky style. A stand out hit was "Valerie", a collab with Winehouse.
