Mark Ronson

Mark Ronson is a sought-after turntablist who's worked with such diverse artists as Macy Gray, Jay-z, and comedian Jimmy Fallon. 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 Ronson discovered DJ culture.
