Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter and music producer. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a family of musicians, Mars began making music at a young age. After performing in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood, he decided to pursue a musical career and moved to Los Angeles after graduating from high school. Mars began producing songs for other artists, joining production team The Smeezingtons.
After an unsuccessful stint with Motown Records, Mars signed with Atlantic Records in 2009. He became recognized as a solo artist after lending his vocals and co-writing the hooks for the songs "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy. He also co-wrote the hits "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Kesha, "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan, and "Fuck You!" by Cee Lo Green. In October 2010, he released his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Anchored by the worldwide number one singles "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", the album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. He was nominated for seven Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Just the Way You Are".
Mars' music is noted for displaying a wide variety of styles and influences, and contains elements of many different musical genres. He has worked with an assortment of artists from different genres; Mars acknowledges the influences that his collaborations have had on his own music. As a child, he was highly influenced by artists such as Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson and would often impersonate these artists from a young age. Mars also incorporates reggae and Motown inspired sounds into his work. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times referred to Mars as "one of the most versatile and accessible singers in pop."
The discography of American recording artist Bruno Mars consists of one studio album, one extended play (EP), five singles, including three as a lead artist, one promotional single, and five music videos. Before his career as a solo artist, Mars was involved as a songwriter and record producer with his team The Smeezingtons. Starting in 2008, he co-wrote and -produced songs for many artists, including Brandy, K'naan, Sean Kingston, Mike Posner, Shontelle, and the Sugababes. Mars saw success in 2009, co-writing Flo Rida's international hit song "Right Round". In early 2010, Mars was featured on "Nothin' on You", the debut single of American rapper B.o.B, which would go on to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. Later that year, he was featured on Travie McCoy's debut single "Billionaire", which reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100. These two singles have both been certified double platinum in the US.
Mars' debut EP It's Better If You Don't Understand was released in May 2010 as a prelude to his debut studio album, and spawned the single "The Other Side", featuring B.o.B and Cee Lo Green.
