From #club nights with #biggie to studio hangs with Aaliyah, #markronson sits down with Rolling Stone’s Larisha Paul to paint a vivid picture of what life was like coming up as a DJ in New York City.
Mark Ronson on his early club nights: “I hear Busta Rhymes ‘Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See,’ and I’m instantly back in this club called Rebar on 16th and Eighth. I can smell the fucking stale beer on the floor.”
Mark Ronson on his work ethic: “I would have this thing where I was so ambitious, I could keep all my partying under control to some extent. I never was fucked up at the gigs. I cared too much about it. But four o’clock, lights on, I was off to the after hours to fucking — not every night — but definitely get fucked up and party.”
Mark Ronson on what people can expect from his new memoir: “With this book, there’ll be people who will pick it up and be like, ‘Where’s Amy? Where’s Gaga? Where’s Bruno? What is this fucking Mark Ronson book?’ It’s obviously about a time before I was really successful in some ways, or certainly before I had any celebrity — I mean, at least outside of a little circle of New York.”
