The book will chronicle how this period set the stage for his illustrious career as a record producer for some of the biggest names in contemporary music.

The memoir holds a significant position in Ronson’s career, providing fans and readers with introspective tales of his path to becoming an award-winning producer. It stands as a testament to an era that heavily influenced many creatives who found inspiration in the rich cultural tapestry of New York City. Through his words, Ronson aspires to offer readers a detailed portrait of a time and place that was not just about nightlife and music but about personal growth and artistic discovery.
