The first song I fell in love with I grew up in New York City, so the emergence of hip-hop really connected with me when I was a kid. Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang started me down the road where I am today. The first single I bought Let No Man Put Asunder by First Choice, on 12-inch vinyl from Rock and Soul in New York City, with money I'd saved from working part-time at the grocery store.

"And I remember standing inside the house looking through the window as my stepdad pulls my mom in for a slow dance," Ronson says. "And I just stood there watching the scene, slightly drunk off this feeling of like, 'Oh my God, this is my music playing out there.' But also it was ... like the first time in my life I genuinely have a memory of having done something right."
