Mark Ronson is set to release his memoir ‘Night People’ via Century, exploring his formative years as a DJ in 1990s New York.
The book documents Ronson’s journey from feeling like an outsider after moving from London to New York as a young child, to finding his place in the city’s vibrant club and hip-hop scene.
“DJing in 90s New York City informed everything I ever did after, becoming the foundation for all my future work and creativity,” says Ronson. “In ‘Night People,’ I wanted to capture that transformative period of my life and celebrate three of my great loves: the art of DJing, the thrilling energy of New York City after dark, and the wild and wonderful characters who populated our world and became my second family. This book is my love letter to a vanished era that shaped not just my career but my identity—a time when finding my craft put me on the path to finding myself.”
Century Editorial Director Zennor Compton says: “With ‘Night People’, Mark Ronson proves himself to be not only the hitmaker of a generation but a gifted writer. Ronson writes about 90s New York City in such a vivid way that you feel as if you’re partying right there beside him. This is a book about a place, a time, a scene but it’s also Ronson’s origin story – a hugely personal account of the events and characters that made him who he is today. His musical passion and expertise is woven through every page of this memoir. We’re incredibly excited to be publishing Night People, which we know is destined to become a classic music memoir.”
The memoir will be published on 25th September.
