Welcome to Bruno Mars's 1st thread!

Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age and performed in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood. He graduated from high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career. Mars produced songs for other artists, joining production team The Smeezingtons.
Mars had an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, but then signed with Atlantic in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals to the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, which were worldwide hits, and for which he co-wrote the hooks. He also co-wrote the hits "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha, and "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan, allowing him to work with an assortment of artists from various genres. Mars' debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, anchored by the worldwide number-one singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", as well as by the hit single "The Lazy Song". The album was nominated for seven Grammy Awards, winning Best Pop Vocal Performance for "Just The Way You Are". His second album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), peaked at number one in the United States. The album spawned the international hit singles "Locked Out of Heaven", "When I Was Your Man" and the moderate hit success "Treasure". In addition to his solo music, Mars has collaborated with numerous other artists, notably being featured on the worldwide hit "Lighters" (with Bad Meets Evil) and the quite successful worldwide single "Young, Wild & Free" (with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa).
Throughout a singing career spanning 3 years, he has sold 10 million albums and 58 million singles worldwide. Including not only his work as a singer but as a songwriter and producer as well, his total single download sales surpass 115 million worldwide. He has achieved a total of five number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and seven top ten singles, as a solo artist placing himself in the record books by being the second solo artist to do so after Richard Marx. He reached first place with "Just the Way You Are", which sold 12.5 million copies and contributed to Mars becoming the best-selling digital artist in 2011. In 2011, Mars was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.

Oh there wasn't a thread for him already? Interesting.

Just the Way You Are is still my jam holla! Kind of mad he didn't include "It Will Rain" as a bonus track or something on Unorthodox Jukebox because I ended up buying the Twilight soundtrack for it (but A Thousand Years was on it too so it's okay).

Gorilla is strange to hear on the radio. The uncensored version on the album is the best version.

Excuse me? lol His debut album was HUGE! And "When I Was Your Man" is all the fuss right now in the mainstream.

[TeamAyu2004]

thats not my point.
He's been around for something like 3 years. for like the past 10 years or so maybe longer don't care to look back, all the super bowl acts have been HUGE stars. they were around for YEARS before performing...
He just seems so small compared to the others.
