But he also had an ear for hip-hop and R&B, could-like all great pop-collapse the distance between then and now, Black music and white. Mars could do old-fashioned showmanship, could credibly play the crooner with a live band to boot. The kind of stuff that Mom will be pulling you onto the dance floor for. Those records, though: “Uptown Funk,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “That’s What I Like.” Fun, omnivorous, generation-bridging. Even when he was living on instant ramen noodles and trying to find his way into the industry, Mars knew he didn’t just want to be a songwriter or a singer or a producer, but-like Prince, or maybe Michael Jackson-a total pop package, the kind of artist who’s as powerful in the studio as they are onstage. But you get the sense that the nod from Prince was affirmation of a higher order. More than a Prince cosign? How about a stack of multiplatinum records? The privilege of being able to entertain people the world over? Mars has those too.
Suddenly, Mars feels the room shift, people part, and there he is, Mars told Apple Music in a 2016 interview-Prince, “just floating by, levitating by.” Prince catches Mars’ eye and gives him a thumbs-up, and Mars-stunned-gives Prince a thumbs-up back. In 2016, Mars returned with his third studio album, 24K Magic, featuring the exuberant, old-school '80s hip-hop-title-track single.Bruno Mars has a good story about Prince: Mars is hanging out at an awards show, during a commercial break. It topped charts around the globe and took home several Grammy Awards including Record of the Year. The following year, Mars fronted Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk," a song he co-wrote that was among the most popular singles of that year. Also in 2014, Unorthodox Jukebox won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. (The second single, "When I Was Your Man," also hit number one.) All that success made Mars a natural for one of the world's most prestigious gigs, the halftime show for Super Bowl XLVIII in February 2014, where he performed with Red Hot Chili Peppers as a musical guest and drew record ratings. "Locked Out of Heaven" topped the pop charts, and the album reached number two in the U.S. That album, the genre-jumping effort Unorthodox Jukebox, was released that same year, and featured the lead-off single "Locked Out of Heaven," along with production from Mark Ronson, Diplo, and others. Doo-Wops & Hooligans, Mars' full-length debut, appeared later that year and quickly produced a number one single, "Just the Way You Are." In 2012, Mars both hosted and performed as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live, debuting tracks from his upcoming album. More offers arrived after that, and Mars and Lawrence scored their first number one hit in 2009, when they co-authored Flo Rida's international smash "Right Round." By 2010, Mars seemed to be everywhere: singing alongside B.o.B on the chart-topping "Nothin' on You," co-writing Travie McCoy's "Billionaire," and collaborating with Cee-Lo Green on the Grammy-nominated hit "F*ck You!" He also began issuing his own material, starting with the May 2010 release of his first EP, It's Better If You Don't Understand.
The two dubbed themselves the Smeezingtons and co-wrote “Long Distance,” which was recorded in 2008 by R&B singer Brandy. After months of frustration, he met songwriter Phillip Lawrence, who convinced Mars to try his hand at writing songs for other artists. After graduating high school in 2003, he took his uncle's advice and moved to California to pursue a music career.
Ten years later, he was impersonating the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, as part of the Legends in Concert show. Born Peter Hernandez in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars kicked off his career at the age of four by fronting his uncle’s band, becoming Oahu's youngest Elvis impersonator in the process.

Mars used that momentum to launch a solo career, quickly becoming the first male vocalist in two decades to crack the Top Ten with his first four singles. After working a string of behind-the-scenes jobs - including writing songs for Brandy, singing backup for the Sugababes, and impersonating Elvis - songwriter/producer Bruno Mars put his name on top of the charts in 2009 by co-writing Flo Rida's hit song "Right Round." One year later, he collaborated with rapper B.o.B on “Nothin’ on You,” and co-wrote Travie McCoy's "Billionaire," both of which became Top Ten hits.
