Mark Ronson made a very self-deprecating speech when he won Best Single at this year’s Brits for his monster hit Uptown Funk, featuring Bruno Mars, like he didn’t deserve the award. But the UK-born (he moved to New York when he was eight), songwriter, producer and DJ had already won a Brit in 2008 for Best British Solo Artist and has been an integral part of music since his second album, Versions, went to No. 2 in 2007 - just after he’d co-produced Amy Winehouse’s landmark album Back to Black.
You’ll have to go to Ronson’s Wikipedia page to see the full list of other artists he’s produced (Adele, Paul McCartney and Lily Allen are just three) and, proving there’s no end to his talents, he turned out to be a canny football pundit when asked onto Football Focus in January this year. One of the music industry’s best-connected men, Ronson usually plays shows with superstar guests and Glastonbury 2015 is no exception. This is what festival moments are made of.
