The Run-Through with Vogue

Mark Ronson on His Front Row Seat to 90s Hip-Hop History


Listen Later

Long before his collaborations with major artists like Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson was sneaking into nightclubs with his friend Sean Ono Lennon at 12 years-old. As he grew up, his status as a night person solidified when he became a DJ in hip-hop clubs in New York City. “It's so exciting that people are suddenly coming because they love the music that you've made,” Ronson says.

Ronson explores his love affair with the music as he sits down with Vogue’s Senior Editor Corey Seymour to talk about his new book “Night People: How to Be a DJ in '90s New York City.” Ronson gets candid about growing up in a musical family, the identity crisis he had in his early years as a performer and what it is like to set the tone for the party. “I am obsessed with the craft,” reflects Ronson as he retraces his past and pieces together the stories from his big nights and the celebrities who were a part of it.

“All the music being made in New York at that time was kind of like the biggest music, at least in hip-hop.” recalls Ronson. 

“So, you had Jay-Z, Biggie, Little Kim, Tribe, and then you had Missy and Timberland and people from other places that were all in New York making their records and they would all come to the club and there I am with this front row seat to it.”
