Her stepfather's a jukebox hero — as in Foreigner's Mick Jones — and her brother's a star DJ — that'd be Mark Ronson — so for Samantha Ronson to get a word in at the dinner table, she had to know her tunes. It wasn’t until Ronson was 20 that she discovered her music talents.
Ronson grew up around music — going on tour with Foreigner for family vacations and cutting class at her stepfather's studio — but she was never interested in playing. Then, after spending a year in Paris after high school, she returned to New York and realized she had nothing to listen to. Ronson taught herself to play and sing and eventually put her poetry to the music. She was still a closet performer, though, when a different sort of music opportunity knocked.
"I got a call one night from a club that I used to hang out at and they were like, 'Do you want to DJ?' "Ronson remembered. "I was like, 'No way,' [but] my friends were like, 'Come on, just do it. How hard could it be?' I was always in the club; [I figured I] might as well get paid for it. Samantha took the gig and before she knew it she was filling in for her brother at other clubs while he finished his album. Sam continued to sharpen her skills on the “Wheels of Steel” and eventually DJing became a full time job.
"I am a pretty good DJ. I give myself props." Samantha gets more than just props. She spins at some of the most high profile gigs around the country. Appearing at Jessica Simpsons Birthday Party, with Lindsay Lohan on the American Music Awards, ElleGirl Prom, Blender, Maxim, IFC Awards, Playstation at the Super Bowl, Sundance and the VMA’s in Miami.
Samantha’s career shows no signs of letting up. She continues to field offers on a daily basis and says she loves what she’s doing. “This is the best job I can imagine: playing music I love, hanging with my friends, and giving people something to dance to.
"star tour" bus?! what the...? honestly, if i were in LA, i would participate in the tour everyday. lol but.. all i can do here is just googling your house ;D (don't worry. i'm not your stalker.) btw, are you planning to move to London? plz don't do that. the only pleasure in my life is seeing your paparazzi pics. (as I said before, i'm not your stalker. haha-) hmm.. it's clear that too many people invade your privacy cuz you're too damn famous now, which means sad. but i hope you can deal with this situation well. have a nice day and take care of yourself :) xoxo

Hey Samantha, I know I'm getting on your nerves,girl! But please read this LITTLE POEM,I wrote for YOU!!! ;-) I would be soo thankful...
When I’m looking outside and it’s grey And I feel bad and desperate anyway. Just one thought helps to save my mood. Thinking about you gets me again on the sunny route. In my head I see your body and the smiling face. I just hear your voice and it reminds me on a saving grace.
Faster and faster my heart starts beating. Really, that’s the truth, I’m not cheating! Well, I don’t know you, that is true. But this won’t change that I love you! Love you, even though I can’t feel you next to me. But that’s a sad fact, that I don’t want to see.
In my dreams you are always there, Sleeping next to me and taking care. I hold you in my arms and kiss you, And when I wake up, I directly miss you!
Only these little hours are the connection between me and you. But I have to confess, that in my life, I’ll always love you, yes I’ll do!
