Mark Ronson Interview: Stories of Working with Jay Z, Adele, Amy Winehouse and Q-Tip

Mark Ronson is a familiar face and friend of SITM so it's always a special treat when he stops in.
Citizens hardly know what they're going to get when he shows up, last time we world premiered "Uptown Funk" which blew up into something all of its own. It's always fun watching the trajectory go into another space and become a moment in music history, that is exactly what "Uptown Funk" gave us.
As a friend and producer of the late great Amy Winehouse, Mark took a few minutes to rewind back to the documentary that he believes showed her true genius and exactly what made the film stand out in his opinion. Fans all loved her music but the behind the scenes stories are what make her talent all the more impressive. Ronson details working with her on records like "Rehab" as well as helping Adele find her lane naturally. Between those two artists alone, his name is probably music royalty in most circles. Not to mention working with the likes of Duran Duran, Q Tip and many more!

I can not get enough of Mark....WOW, He is so talented and freaking gorgeous!!!! Melts my heart

[@stazi7532]

This dude's accent sounds like a weird mix of British, American and French.

[@TheKatrillionaire]

makes sense!

[@soundshape6496]

He’s British but moved to NY when he was a kid and stayed there through high school and into his mid 20s

[@fatmenrap45]

he made some good hits

[@mayahutasoit2166]

i heart him

[@alonzotanner1226]

I've always assumed he was a british guy who was at least a grown teen when he came here and started to lose his accent. However, I just found out he was only 8 when he came across the ocean to New York. So, considering that and now he's 40, he still has a lot of his original british accent left which is amazing. Usually under 13, the accent is always likely to fade within the first few years one comes over. As people say here, it's like a british accent like a 60% British accent and a 40% New York Accent. It's wild.

[@mothertothemoon7]

the transatlantic accent is so strange and endearing at the very same time

[@spicey1557]

I love transatlantic accent as well.

Ok, Mark. Be yourself. Your voice is great, no need to pretend to be English/American.

[@verysilvery445]

Except he's English and grew up mostly in America so...

[@rachelelisabeth1189]

Well half in America and half in Jersey. I got ya.

[@jamesjajohn3149]

He sounds English

[@lfcforever1482]

Because he is English, he's from England and moved to New York when he was 8.

[@curtwall7089]

why is mark ronson trying to sound American,and the documentary film called Amy was supposed to be crap because it only showed the bad bits and sad bits of her life even her dad said that and wanted to show more happiness in her life and didn't and adele wished she never watched it was glum

[@scorpiohapa]

Use more periods

[@spicey1557]

I can't stand Jay Z.He stole Amy's music in the terrible remake of The Great Gatsby having that fat ass Beyonce contaminating Back To Black with her horrible voice.I could just see it now,she probably either threw a fit to sing it herself and not have Amy's own version (Heaven forbid! Amy only wrote it!) or Jay Z from the jump planned on using her music and having Beyonce "singing" it.Amy didn't like him using her songs without her approval.In life her friends and family didn't protect her and they don't seem to do so in her death.It saddens me greatly.She is really WAY OUT of the realm of hip hop anyway.She was and will always be a Jazz Singer.

[@missa1295]

omg did beyonce sing back to black? ughhhhh only amy. The INCREDIBLE amy

[@billie6528]

spicey1 That junkie was an overrated shitty performer with an ok album but got praised cause she was white and just copying black artists. I hope you join her in hell. Meanwhile, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are still alive and healthy and loving every day.

[@IloveGermany00]

Billie Dahling lmao Amy Winehouse was a phenomenal writer and musician. You're very hateful.
