Mark Ronson is well known producer and well respected DJ (he has a show on East Village Radio call Hello Echo). He's English but grew up in NYC. He's probably the most well known by the song "Ooh Wee", you know the song from Honey. He's also produced many other hits for artists such as Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Britney Spears (ew, i dont think so highly of her. not my fault) just to name a few. He doesn't only produce HipHop/RnB, he also worked with Radiohead and Coldplay. I've heard only a few songs from his new album 'Version', his music is a good mix of rock, soul and hiphop. 'Stop Me' ft Daniel Merriweather is a catchy cover he did, although it takes some time to get use to the style of the song. There's also 'Oh My God', a tune he did for Lily Allen. Both really different styles, but check them out. I think my fav has got to be 'Valerie' ft Amy Winehouse. It's such a sunday song, listen to it then you'll know what i mean. Oh and coming up soon, Nicole will be posting a (Mark Ronson inspired) 'Toxic' covers entry. For now here's a sample of what Mark Ronson's cover for 'Toxic' sounds like.
On another note, you might have also heard of Samantha Ronson, if 1) you catch up with celeb gossip, esp concerning Lindsay Lohan or; 2) you own the Laguna Beach/Mean Girls soundtrack. I think for me i would be guilty of the former, too much gossip blog reading. Sam Ronson is an interesting character, from what i gather from articles about her, although her profile for music is much smaller/less impressive compared to her older brother's. Sam Ronson's music is more Alternative and Rock. She's also a Dj (irrelevant but she knows DJ AM) and singer. Out of the songs that i tried to listen to by her...i've got to say 'Built This Way' is the best...which i'm not sure if that's a good or bad sign..check out her myspace and see for yrself. She also has her own official site...but there's not much there unless you want to book her for Djing.
Okay so one last Ronson...Sam Ronson also has a twin sister, if you're into fashion (hahaha, me) you might kno her. Charlotte Ronson is a fashion designer, her stuff looks pretty comfortable, i've yet to check out her clothes in person though...looks can be deceiving. Just thought i should comment on all the Ronsons. =p
Enjoy <3
