See Who Mark Ronson Tapped as His Extremely Relatable Dream Narrator for His Memoir

Mark Ronson isn’t opposed to getting a little Hollywood help to tell his story.

Ronson joined Spotify Chief Public Affairs Officer Dustee Jenkins at Cannes Lions 2025 on Tuesday, June 17. After their conversation during Spotify Beach, he revealed who he would want to narrate his forthcoming memoir, Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s New York City. 

Ronson, 49, told Spotify that if he couldn’t do it himself, he would tap Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet to do so.

“It would get a lot of people to listen to it,” Ronson explained.

Ronson’s upcoming memoir details his early career as a nightclub DJ in New York City. The new book will offer a different perspective on what the official synopsis is calling “the definitive account of ’90s New York nightlife and the making of a musical mastermind.”

“DJ’ing in [’90s] New York City informed everything I ever did after, becoming the foundation for all my future work and creativity,” Ronson said in a statement, per Rolling Stone.

“In Night People, I wanted to capture that transformative period of my life and celebrate three of my great loves: the art of DJ’ing, the thrilling energy of New York City after dark, and the wild and wonderful characters who populated our world and became my second family,” he added. “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.”

Since announcing his book, Ronson has candidly spoken about the writing process. In May, he revealed via Instagram that he finally got his hands on the physical book.

“I somehow forgot that thousands of hours of writing, deleting, doubting, would eventually transform into this tangible thing I can now hold in my hands,” he wrote on May 20.

“It’s only the advance reading copy (a paperback preview before the real thing drops) but flipping through it is fully mind-blowing and emotional,” he continued. “I hope you’ll check it out in September. Until then, I’ll be here, not quite believing that this bunch of pages with my name on the cover is real.”

Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s New York City, hits shelves on Sept. 23. The book and the audiobook are now available for preorder.
