Bruno Mars is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. Mars started making music at a young age and performed in a string of behind-the-scenes jobs before making a name for him. Raised by a Hawaiian family of musicians, Bruno got involved in manifold music engagements early in his career like writing songs for Brandy, singing backup for the Sugababes, and impersonating Elvis.
But it was his co-writing of Flo Rida's hit song Right Round in 2009 that catapulted Mars to worldwide fame. A year later, he worked in collaboration with rapper B.o.B on Nothin' on You and co-wrote Travis McCoy's Billionaire, both of which were Top Ten hits.
Mars turned this momentum in his favor launching a solo career with his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. He cemented his status as the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, and his Just the Way You Are and Grenade become worldwide number-one singles.
He got seven Grammy nominations at the 53rd Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for Just the Way You Are.
