Grammy winning producer Mark Ronson was recently forced to undergo tetanus immunisation after he was savagely attacked in the street by a dog.The Valerie star stepped in to break up a fight between his Labrador-Collie cross and a Pit Bull Terrier, prompting his pooch's enraged attacker to focus its attention on Ronson.And despite the several layers of clothing Ronson was wearing, the Pit Bull still managed to bite into the music star's flesh.He says, "My dog, Maude, sometimes gets into scraps. I jumped into one fight - it was the middle of winter and I was wearing three T-shirts, a jumper, a shirt and a jacket, and this Bull Terrier bit through all six layers. I needed a tetanus shot".Meanwhile music producer Mark Ronson picks up vocalists for his records by standing outside British drama schools and befriending the students on their way out.Ronson refuses to hassle established artists into working with him, preferring instead to form relationships with aspiring singers - and he patiently waits for the stardom-destined among them to contact him once they've shot to prominence.The Grammy winning star - who befriended such collaborators as Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen in the same manner - often targets London's Brit School and the Sylvia Young Theatre School.He says, "People think I'm very well connected because I know famous singers but that's only because I've worked with them and met them before they were famous. I guess the key is to befriend people you think will become famous in the future, which requires a lot of instinct and a bit of luck.

"I'm on a roll now. I just stand outside the Brit School and the Sylvia Young Theatre School and wait for future famous kids to come out and just get their numbers. One out of 20 will blow up".
