Check the RAPCITY1CHANNEL OFFICIAL WEBSITE (UNFINISHED) Download Mark Ronson MP3 Songs and Albums | music downloads Website: Biography The English musician Mark Ronson was born in London in 1975. He has been familiar with the music since the very childhood: after the divorce Mark’s mother married the guitarist Mick Jones, thus Ronson found himself in the musical society. Since the age of thirteen he’s been a good friend with Sean Lennon, a son of the legendary The Beatles member John Lennon. Mark entered the New York University and started attending different kinds of musical parties of the Big Apple, including the hip-hop conventions of downtown.

Ronson got interested in DJ-ing and managed to achieve certain popularity due to his recognizable sets, which consisted of compositions of absolutely different styles. Mixing the elements of funk, hip-hop and rock Mark attracted the attention to his creativity in no time, and very soon he became one of the most respected DJs of New York. He was often invited to fancy parties where he performed his original sets. Thus, Mark managed to create himself a name and started to work on his debut studio album. The record titled Here Comes the Fuzz was released in 2003. The musician wrote all the compositions for that album by himself, created the beats and performed the parts of keyboards, bass-guitar and guitar. Such musicians as Mos Def, Jack White, Sean Paul and many others took part in the recording of Mark’s debut album as well. For one of the brightest songs from Here Comes the FuzzOoh Wee Ronson used the samples of the composition Sunny by Boney M and collaborated with Nate Dogg, Ghostface Killah, Trife Da God and Saigon.

Such joint work is a sign of the high level of Mark’s talent and skills, and after the release of Here Comes the Fuzz he worked with many famous performers, such as Christina Aguilera and Robbie Williams. Mark Ronson’s second studio work titled Version was issued in 2007. That album includes only the cover-versions of various performers’ songs. Thus, the musician managed to create the incredibly interesting interpretations of compositions by Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, Britney Spears and others. Version turned out to be a really original work and in 2008 at BRIT Award Mark won in the nomination Best Male Solo Artist. Another proof of his talent was three Grammy Awards of 2008 for Producer of the Year - Non-Classical, Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album (two latter – for the collaboration with Amy Winehouse). Mark presented his signature sound on Version, and there is absolutely no doubt that it will be enjoyed both by the musician’s old fans and by those who are just going to get acquainted with his creativity. Ronson’s new long play Record Collection was released in 2010.

And no one should be embarrassed by the title of that work – it is not a compilation album or the greatest hits album, it is a full length studio attempt. The traditionally strong long play was enjoyed by Mark’s fans and musical experts, which is proved by the excellent reviews.

Ronson was born to Jewish parents in London, where he lived until he was eight. After his parents split, his mother, socialite Ann Dexter, married Mick Jones, lead guitarist of the band Foreigner. "I moved to New York and I had this funny accent," he told Mason. "So the kids in school tease you. So I ditched my English accent pretty quickly!"

Schwarz in New York City. Ronson said his siblings were always close. "There's ten of us all together -- brothers and sisters, with some half-, some step-. The most that would ever be living under the same roof at the same time might be six or seven. So there's always, like, fighting and that stuff. But for the most part, we were really close, especially Charlotte, Samantha, and I [who] were the closest in age." Today Charlotte Ronson is a fashion designer; Samantha is a DJ and singer-songwriter.

"I got really into hip hop," he told CBS News' Anthony Mason. "I knew I was never gonna be a rapper, and I didn't know anything about producing. So I thought, 'Okay, DJing, that's my way into this thing that I love.' I started to collect vinyl and then I started to listen to all the great New York radio DJs, like Funk Master Flex and Stretch Armstrong and taught myself the routines. He got his first gig by being "pushy," he said. "But it was in a snowstorm in the middle of New York. I had to bring all my own equipment to some weird bar that served underage kids. I had a lot of my dad's old soul records, like Average White Band and things like that, mixed with the hip hop of the time.

"I just loved playing music for people, and something about getting people on the dance floor but also playing music they weren't used to hearing instantly appealed to me." Credit: Family Photo Mark Ronson and Anthony Mason "I played a lot of, like, funk and soul and stuff that people really enjoyed hearing. Puffy and Jay Z and Biggie and D'Angelo and these heroes of mine are coming down to the clubs where I'm DJing at. So Puffy started to book me to do his own gigs. It was pretty amazing time, especially in New York [which] was so exciting musically at that time." His first recorded success, however, happened in London. In 2003 "Ooh Wee," featuring vocals by Ghostface Killah, Nate Dogg, Trife Diesel and Saigon, was released in the U.K. and became a Top 20 hit. It was the lead single off his album, "Here Comes the Fuzz." "So suddenly, I was coming [to London] to do more gigs.

And it became this thing of rediscovering my English music heritage and meeting people like Lily Allen."

Ronson told Mason being a DJ colors everything he does. "The sonic of hip hop from the '90s and gangster and that stuff that, when I'm trying to record a drum set, I'm still looking for that raw thing, and I'm still thinking, 'Is this gonna sound great in a club?' "Even making 'Uptown Funk,' we were thinking, 'Okay, we want a live record. But I want it to sound tough as nails when it comes on in the club.' And so it's still something that informs everything I do as a producer." Credit: Frank Micelotta/Getty Images Covers "Here Comes the Fuzz" (2003), Ronson's first album, was heavily influenced by hip hop, and featured such artists as Nappy Roots, Sean Paul, Mos Def and Jack White, as well as the Japanese rocker Aya.

Ronson's followup album, "Version" (2007), was more reminiscent of the sound of Stax and Motown Records. The album featured covers performed by Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Robbie Williams and others, and reached Number 2 on the British charts. Winehouse's single of "Valerie" and Daniel Merriweather's "Stop Me" both charted at Number 2 as well.

Adele, who had followed Ronson since "Here Comes the Fuzz" and his collaborations with Winehouse and Lily Allen, explained to The Sun newspaper why she asked him to produce the track: "I thought it needed a beat because the album was lacking a real upbeat club tune. And I couldn't think of anyone else but Mark Ronson to do it."

Wilson/Getty Images for StudioCanal "Uptown Funk" Bruno Mars was featured in Mark Ronson's 2014 single, "Uptown Funk," from the album, "Uptown Special." The song, a joyous homage to the Minneapolis funk style pioneered by Prince, was a smash, residing at Number 1 on the U.S. charts for 14 consecutive weeks. "'Uptown Funk' basically, started as a jam in Bruno's studio. We just kinda went over there one night.

I was playing some demos, and it was me and Jeff Bhasker and Phil Lawrence, who writes for Bruno. I was like, 'Let's try something out.' So Bruno got on the drums, I got on bass, Jeff was on keys. So we kinda found a little best bits of the groove and started to write lyrics. Everyone's excited and, like, listened to it 20 times in the car on the drive home and then, calling each other, 'Do you still like it?'" Credit: Mark Ronson VEVO Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars are pictured in the studio during the production of "Uptown Funk." "It's that kind of excited feeling you don't get that all the time when you're working on music, even with people that you love and that are talented -- that magic of the initial buzz of when you're writing it. We could just never get it back. We'd go in, and we'd get a couple of lines. And the song [kept] falling apart.

We had to, as Bruno says, 'Take it out of the trash a few times.' And I was fighting hard: 'Okay, when can we get back in the studio and finish the song?' "And it was really when Bruno towards the end came up with the bass line, the hook that opens the song, that the song really gelled together. And then we got the horns after that and all this stuff. We recorded the drums with Bruno five different studios, 20 different times. It was probably the most I've ever worked on a song."

Laughing, Ronson told Anthony Mason, "I always look at a successful record, it's like another five-year lease on a career. Like, 'Ah, so you're the guy...'" But Ronson also said he recognizes that success on the scale of "Uptown Funk" is not necessarily repeatable.

"I realize at this point in my career, just because I've had this record, it doesn't mean that I'm gonna be able to go in the studio of anyone and have that kind of thing. It's about the chemistry of people, whether it's Bruno or whoever."

For more info: Mark Ronson | New Music And Songs | Mark Ronson About Mark Ronson Superstar DJ and producer Mark Ronson has earned both praise and popular success for his throwback, soul- and funk-influenced work with such diverse artists as Ghostface Killah, Amy Winehouse, Boy George, and Bruno Mars. The stepson of guitarist Mick Jones of Foreigner, Ronson spent the first eight years of his life growing up in England.

Having played guitar and drums from an early age, it wasn't until moving to New York City with his mother that he discovered DJ culture. At age 16, and already a fan of such popular hip-hop artists as Run-D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began listening to the various hip-hop mixtapes released by DJs. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his father's record collection and tried his hand at mixing. It was the first step in a career highlighted by work on a Grammy-winning album by Winehouse, as well as his own global smash hit "Uptown Funk." As a young DJ with diverse tastes, the teenaged Ronson caught the ears and eyes of various socialites and New York celebrities, including fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, who featured Ronson, along with other sons and daughters of celebrities, in a 1997 fashion campaign. A year later, hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hired Ronson to DJ his fabled 29th birthday bash. These and other high-profile gigs boosted Ronson's "hip quotient" and helped promote his more serious-minded music career.

Fusing his eclectic turntable skills with his knowledge of musical instruments and songwriting, Ronson eventually embarked on his first solo project. Featuring such diverse guest artists as dancehall rapper Sean Paul, hip-hop artist Mos Def, Jack White of the White Stripes, and Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, Ronson's debut album, Here Comes the Fuzz, appeared on Elektra in 2003. It was most successful in the U.K., where it was certified silver by the BPI. Ronson kept busy producing tracks for a number of artists, including Amy Winehouse, whose 2006 album Back to Black earned critical praise, in part for Ronson's Motown-influenced production. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. His own sophomore effort, a collection of cover songs called Version, dropped in 2007. Released on his boutique label Allido through a deal with Columbia, it went double platinum in the U.K. Between solo releases, Ronson continued to produce for other artists, including Adele ("Cold Shoulder").

In 2010, he began performing under the moniker Mark Ronson & the Business Intl and released his third studio album, Record Collection, another star-filled recording with previously unthinkable pairings, including Simon LeBon and Wiley on the title track. Taking time out in 2011 to marry French actress and singer Joséphine de la Baume, Ronson returned to the studio in 2013 to start work on his fourth album, Uptown Special. Featuring collaborations with the likes of Bruno Mars, Mystikal, Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, and Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford, Uptown Special also featured lyrics written by novelist Michael Chabon. Released in 2015, Uptown Special was Ronson's first number one on the U.K. album chart and entered the Top Ten on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S. "Uptown Funk," fronted by Mars, topped the U.K. and U.S. pop charts, as well as those of several other territories.

~ Matt Collar & Andy Kellman, Rovi Mark Ronson artist page Mark Ronson Mark Daniel Ronson (born 4 September 1975) is an English musician, music producer, artist, DJ and co-founder of Allido Records. He currently works with his own band, Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. While his debut album Here Comes the Fuzz failed to make an impact on the charts, his second album, Version included three top ten hits and won Ronson a Brit Award for Best British Male Artist in 2008. His third studio album, Record Collection, was released on 27 September 2010. Early life: Ronson was born at the Wellington Hospital, St John's Wood, to writer/socialite Ann Dexter-Jones and one-time band manager and real estate entrepreneur Laurence Ronson. His parents are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, with ancestors from Austria, Russia, and Lithuania, and Ronson was brought up in Masorti Judaism. Ronson's family name was originally Aaronson, but his grandfather Henry Ronson changed it to Ronson. Ronson is the nephew of property tycoon Gerald Ronson.

Ronson is related to British Conservative politicians Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Leon Brittan, as well as Odeon Cinemas founder Oscar Deutsch. Ronson has twin sisters who are two years younger than he, Charlotte Ronson, a fashion designer, and Samantha Ronson, a singer and DJ. Ronson also has five younger half-siblings. Alexander and Annabelle, through his mother's remarriage to Mick Jones as well as Henrietta, David, and Joshua, through his father's remarriage to model Michele First. After his parents broke up, his mother married Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones, which contributed to a childhood surrounded by music. Career: Ronson went to high school at the private Collegiate School in New York. Attending Vassar College and then New York University (NYU), Ronson became a regular at downtown hip hop spots and made his name as a DJ on the New York club scene in 1993, charging $50 per job. Though a novice with little experience, he became known for his diverse, genre-spanning selection. Influenced by funk, the hip hop scene of New York and the more rock influence of the UK (all of which he incorporated in his sets) he attracted a wider audience.

He was soon one of the most respected DJs and was being called on for celebrities' private parties. In 1999, Ronson was featured in an ad wearing Tommy Hilfiger denim in the recording studio for an ad campaign for the company. He provided the score for the 2011 film Arthur. Here Comes the Fuzz and initial producing: He moved on, however, to producing music after Nikka Costa's manager heard one of his gigs and introduced the musicians. He produced her song "Everybody Got Their Something", and soon Ronson signed a record contract with Elektra Records. Mark had produced tracks for Hilfiger ads, and in 2001 used the connection to have Costa's single "Like a Feather" used in an ad. Ronson's first album, Here Comes the Fuzz, was released in 2003 and was critically acclaimed and a financial success, despite initially poor sales. On the album, he wrote the songs, made the beats and played guitar, keyboards, and bass. The album featured artists from diverse genres, including Mos Def, Jack White, Sean Paul, Nikka Costa, Nappy Roots and Rivers Cuomo.

The best known song from the album, "Ooh Wee", samples "Sunny" by Boney M and features Nate Dogg, Ghostface Killah, Trife Da God, and Saigon. It was featured that year in the movie Honey and its soundtrack. The song was later used in the movies Hitch and Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Two weeks after releasing Here Comes the Fuzz, Elektra Records dropped him. Ronson has since produced multiple songs on the albums of singers Lamya, Macy Gray,Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and Robbie Williams. Ronson became one of the regular DJs at Justin Timberlake's New York club, Suede, when it opened in 2003. In 2004, Ronson formed his own record label, Allido Records, a subsidiary of Sony BMG's J Records, along with his longtime manager Rich Kleiman. The first artist he signed to Allido was rapper Saigon, who later left to sign with Just Blaze's Fort Knox Entertainment. He has signed Rhymefest, most well known for winning the Grammy for co-writing Kanye West's "Jesus Walks".

Version: Ronson released a cover of The Smiths' track "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" under the title "Stop Me" on 2 April 2007, featuring singer Daniel Merriweather, which reached number 2 in the UK singles charts, the biggest hit for Ronson to date. Ronson remixed the Bob Dylan song "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" in promotion for the three disc Bob Dylan set titled Dylan released October 2007. Ronson has also produced Candie Payne's "One More Chance (Ronson mix)" in 2007. The album has been well received by critics. In May 2007 it was awarded the title Album of the Month by the British dance music magazine, Mixmag. On 23 June, the DJ made the cover of the Guardian newspaper's Guide magazine, alongside singer Lily Allen. In June 2007, Ronson signed DC hip hop artist Wale to Allido Records. In late 2007, he focused on production, working with Daniel Merriweather on his debut album, and recording again with Amy Winehouse and Robbie Williams.

On 24 October 2007 Ronson performed a one-off set at The Roundhouse in Camden, London as part of the BBC Electric Proms 2007. The performance featured the BBC Concert Orchestra and included special guests Terry Hall, Sean Lennon, Tim Burgess, Alex Greenwald, Ricky Wilson, Charlie Waller, Adele and Kyle Falconer. Ronson received a Grammy Award nomination in early December 2007 for 'Producer of the Year, Non Classical', along with Timbaland and Mike Elizondo. Ronson's work with Amy Winehouse also received substantial praise, gaining 6 nominations. Back to Black, an album mostly produced by Ronson was nominated for 'Album of the Year' and 'Best Pop Vocal Album'. "Rehab" received nods for 'Best Female Pop Vocal Performance', 'Song of the Year' and 'Record of the Year'. Ronson would go on to win three Grammys for 'Producer of the Year' as well as 'Best Pop Vocal Album' and 'Record of the Year' (which he shared with Amy Winehouse) in early February 2008.

Ronson is credited as producer on a mixtape album called Man in the Mirror, released in January 2008 by the rapper Rhymefest which is a tribute to the pop star Michael Jackson. The album features Rhymefest appearing to speak to Michael Jackson using archive audio from interviews with the pop star. Later in January 2008, Ronson received three nominations for the Brit Awards, including 'Best Male Solo Artist', 'Best Album' (Version) and 'Song of the Year' ("Valerie"). Ronson won his first Brit for 'Best Male Solo Artist' in mid February 2008 over favourite Mika. He also performed a medley of "God Put a Smile upon Your Face" with Adele, "Stop Me" with Daniel Merriweather and "Valerie" with Amy Winehouse. The performance allowed for a large boost in sales in the iTunes UK Top 100. "Valerie" would jump almost 30 spots in the days after the event, while "Just", "Stop Me" and "Oh My God" all appeared in the chart as well.

That same week, Ronson appeared twice in the UK Top 40, with "Valerie" rebounding to number 13 and "Just" at number 31, his fourth Top 40 hit from "Version". The Brits performance also allowed for "Version" to climb 18 spots to number 4. Around this time, Ronson received his first number one on an international chart (Dutch Top 40) for "Valerie", which has spent four consecutive weeks at the top of the chart. He collaborated with Kaiser Chiefs on their third album. Ronson has toured the album "Version" vigorously through both the UK and Europe during 2008.
