Biography

Ralph was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England.

Ralph started his career as a session guitarist, recording and playing live with a long list of artists, which include Pet Shop Boys, Ringo Starr, Sly & Robbie, Screaming Lord Sutch, Edwyn Collins, Holly Johnson, Ronnie Wood, and Fatback Band. He cut his production teeth as a member of acclaimed electronic trio the Filthy Dukes, who released their one and only album Nonsense in the Dark in 2009 to great critical acclaim and also remixed the likes of Bloc Party, Death From Above 1979, Florence and the Machine, The Temper Trap, Lady Gaga and Passion Pit, in the process.

In recent times he has co-produced and mixed international hits including Clean Bandit and their No.1 single "Rockabye", which spent nine weeks at Number 1 on the UK Charts in 2016/17. He also performed the same duties on Clean Bandit's previous UK Top 5 single "Tears" as well as "Sunshine" by TIEKS, and notably co-wrote and co-produced Years & Years' debut album Communion, including hit single "Eyes Shut". Communion was received with great critical acclaim, peaking at Number 1 in the UK album chart. In 2016, he also produced Classic House by Pete Tong, utilising a contemporised 60-piece orchestra to create an album of dance music classics, which reached No. 2 in the UK albums chart.

In May 2016, he was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for “PRS Most Performed Work” for "King" by Years & Years. In November 2016 he won "Producer of the Year" at the UK A&R Awards in London.

"Rockabye" by Clean Bandit was nominated for both “Best British Single” and “British Artist Video of the Year” at the 2017 Brit Awards.

In 2017, Mark Ralph worked on three of the UK Official Charts Top 40 biggest songs of 2017 – including two in the top 10. Clean Bandit's Symphony and Rockabye and Jax Jones' You Don't Know Me
