Suzi Ronson is a stylist, writer, musician, and the woman who helped shape one of the most iconic eras in music, first by co-creating David Bowie’s groundbreaking look for Ziggy Stardust.
Her memoir Me and Mr. Jones describes this along with the wild and interesting journey she shared as a part of the core group of people who propelled Bowie and themselves into history without expecting it. Suzi and I spoke about these times, her career, life with her husband Mick Ronson, and the aftermath of the Spiders from Mars ending.
This episode is unvarnished and human, as we like to keep Radar. Bowie was no saint, but we all love him, including Suzi, who tells her tales of these times from a deeply clear-eyed place.
Radar features discussions with artists and industry leaders who are creators and devotees of music and is produced by Dylan Hundley and The Vinyl District. Dylan Hundley is an artist and performer, and the co-creator and lead singer of Lulu Lewis and all things at Darling Black. She co-curates and hosts Salon Lulu which is a New York based multidisciplinary performance series. She is also a cast member of the iconic New York film Metropolitan.
