Award-winning producer musician and DJ Mark Ronson takes us on his 10-song journey in this week's Tracks of My Years. Born in the UK, but spending much of his teens in New York, Mark was introduced to music from a young age by his parents, as well as his step-father Mick Jones, the guitarist, keyboard player and songwriter in the band Foreigner. He played in bands but soon was inspired by his love of hip hop to try DJing, which he soon fell in love with. In the 2000s, he moved into songwriting and production, releasing his hugely successful covers album Version in 2007. Over his career to date, he has worked with a huge range of artists including Bruno Mars, Dua Lipa, Adele, Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Paul McCartney to name just a few. He worked extensively with Amy Winehouse, co-producing her seminal 2006 album Back To Black, and more recently has moved into film soundtracks, winning an Oscar for co-writing Shallow from A Star Is Born. Mark has just published his memoir, Night People - How To Be A DJ In 90s New York City, documenting his time in the city at the time. Produced by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Audio for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 2.
