Peter Gene Hernandez(born October 8, 1985),
known professionally as Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, and
record producer. He is known for his stage performances, retro showmanship,
and for performing in a wide range of musical styles, including pop, R&B, funk, soul, reggae, disco, and rock. Mars is
accompanied by his band, the Hooligans, who
play a variety of instruments, such as electric guitar, bass, piano, keyboards,
drums, and horns, and also serve as backup singers and dancers.
Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii,
Mars moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a musical career. In 2009, he
co-founded the production team The Smeezingtons,
responsible for various successful singles for Mars himself and other artists.
He rose to fame in 2010 buoyed by the success of "Nothin' on You" by
B.o.B and "Billionaire"
by Travie McCoy, both of
which featured his vocals. That year, Mars released his debut studio album Doo-Wops
& Hooligans, which blended pop with reggae
and R&B. It spawned the international number-one singles "Just the Way You Are",
"Grenade",
and "The Lazy Song".
Drawing inspiration from disco, funk, rock, reggae and soul genres, his second
studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox(2012),
was his first number one on the Billboard 200.
It amassed two Billboard Hot 100 number-one songs, "Locked Out of
Heaven" and "When I Was
Your Man".
In 2014, Mars was featured on Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk",
which topped various music charts, spending a total of fourteen and seven weeks
atop the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart,
respectively. Mars's third studio album, the R&B-focused 24K Magic(2016),
received seven Grammy Awards, winning the major categories of Album of the
Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the
Year. The album also yielded the top-five singles
"24K Magic",
"That's
What I Like" (his seventh Billboard Hot
100 number-one single), and a remix of "Finesse"
featuring Cardi B. In
2021, Mars and Anderson .Paak, as Silk Sonic,
released the collaborative studio album An Evening
with Silk Sonic, which delved into 1970s R&B
and soul and was led by the chart-topping single "Leave the
Door Open". It received four Grammy Awards,
including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
An Evening with Silk Sonic is the debut
studio album by American musical superduo Silk Sonic,
composed of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. It was
released on November 12, 2021, by Aftermath
Entertainment and Atlantic Records. Silk
Sonic reunited with Christopher Brody Brown and James Fauntleroy to write the album. They recruited American musician Bootsy Collins, who
came up with the name for Mars and Paak's duo, for narration and American
record producer D'Mile to compose the
album. Recording sessions for An Evening with Silk Sonic took place in 2017 and
between early 2020 to mid-2021 at Shampoo Press & Curl Studios.
An Evening with Silk Sonic debuted at number
two on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 104,000 equivalent
album units and became Mars's second and .Paak's
first number-one album on the US Top
R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It also peaked in the top-five
in Australia, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand, and produced five singles:
"Leave the
Door Open" and "Smokin out
the Window", which were commercially
successful, while "Skate"
charted moderately in various countries. Two other singles "Love's Train",
a cover of Con Funk Shun's song,
and "After Last Night"
were made available for consumption in 2022, with each one of them having minor
commercial success. "Leave the Door Open" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and New Zealand, becoming Mars's eighth and .Paak's first number-one
song in the United States. The album was certified gold by Music Canada(MC) and
platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA).
An Evening with Silk Sonic received universal
acclaim, and is the most acclaimed studio album of Mars' career, with reviewers
praising its retro sensibility and the chemistry between Mars and .Paak. At the
64th Grammy
Awards in 2022, "Leave The Door
Open" won four Grammy Awards,
including Record of the
Year, Song of the
Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B
song. Several publications listed the album as
one of the best records of the year. The album was also promoted via An Evening with Silk Sonic at Park MGM(2022),
along with a number of performances at various award shows.

Rose petals in the bathtub
