Bruno Mars - From a child who has to sleep on the roof to the most "perfectionist" in the world of music

Known as the "perfect fisherman" in the world, Bruno Mars sets strict standards for himself in his work. He constantly asks others for opinions about his products and seems to be unconcerned but not appreciative.

Bruno Mars was born in 1985 and grew up in a multi-ethnic family, his background is Puerto Rican and Jewish, his mother is Filipino with Hispanic descent. Bruno spent most of his childhood in the Hawaiian Islands, where many were mixed-race people.

Because of that, he never thought about racial discrimination. Later, Bruno Mars shared that he had to change his mind when he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career.

Raised in an artistic family, Bruno Mars was exposed to music early. He learned to play various musical instruments such as piano, guitar or drums by studying under his parents.

At the age of four, Bruno Mars began performing with his family's band, The Love Notes, and frequently started popular artists such as Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson. The nickname "Elvis small" was born and three years later, it became the first role of the boy Bruno in the comedy Honeymoon in Vegas.

Close with many famous on-screen stars such as James Caan, Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker, Bruno Mars still maintains his confidence even though he is only seven years old. Bruno's analysis in the film has been praised by many people even after 29 years.

At first, Bruno Mars' parents feared that this obligation would get him into trouble, but on the contrary, it made "little Elvis" gradually become famous at home. Bruno had the opportunity to appear on many big shows such as The Arsenio Hall Show in 1982, Aloha Bowl in 1990 and even interviewed on MTV.

When Bruno Mars was two years old, his parents divorced and the band's activities ended. Bruno moved out to live with his father and brother, the three of them wandered around, sometimes sleeping on the roof, sometimes in a zoo his father used to work.

In 2003, at Mike's suggestion, Bruno Mars moved to Los Angeles to pursue music. He decided to use the name little Bruno and added the surname Mars as art. Bruno later revealed that he did so to avoid knowledge of his origins.

From writing music for others to being a star operator

A year later, Bruno Mars signed to the Soul music record Motown Records. However, after a few months of cooperation, Bruno decided to leave the disc.

This time, Bruno Mars started performing around Los Angeles with his new band, Sex Panther. He also co-wrote music with producer Philip Lawrence and submitted audio recordings for the discs, but were rejected.

Was frustrated when he wanted to get rid of the call, but later, someone offered to buy the song Lost of double. At first, Bruno and Philip both disagreed, but when they were paid up to $20,000, they agreed to give away the brainchild to fund the operation.

Bruno Mars's days of penning are finally answered. He became a famous producer and composed many hits for many singers and bands.

Bruno co-wrote the song Get Sexy performed by Sugarbabes, featured on the album Animal of Far East Movement and produced the hit Nothing On You for male rapper BoB.

For six straight years, Bruno only wrote songs for other artists every day. One day, Philip Lawrence introduced him to Atlantic Records' head of artist search, Aaron Bay-Schuck.

After hearing Bruno sing a few songs, Bay-Schuck immediately offered to sign him. Three years later, Bruno Mars is officially an artist of Atlantic Records.

At that time, Atlantic Records was a major global record and belonged to Warner Brothers Records, later renamed Warner Music Group. There is music active in Vietnam now that Warner Music Vietnam was founded with artists like Thai Vu and Chillies.

In 2010, Bruno Mars released his first EP in his career, It's better if you don't understand. This EP is not doing a public when only #99 on the US Billboard 200.

In November 2010, Bruno's debut studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans was officially released. This is a Pop, Reggae, Soul and Rock genre discography with songs totaling love and party themes.

The album's music is inspired by Michael Jackson and Kanye West, while Bruno's vocals are influenced by Shakira and U2.

On the commercial front, Doo-Wops & Hooligans achieved but a fairly good record. The album reached number three on the Billboard 200 and sold 55,000 copies in a week, the singles released from the four albums turned out to be huge hits.

From that day on, Bruno Mars' career turned a new page. He became a dream singer for Maroon 5 and OneRepublic. Bruno also launched his own tour and the people have been loyal fans.

But strawberry grace branded Bruno Mars in the hearts of music lovers

His childhood in Hawaii fostered a love of music and a curiosity for Bruno Mars' different genres, he loved many styles and didn't want to stick to any mold.

Bruno's expressive style is a harmony of many names. He has the same energy as Michael Jackson, has the "playfulness" of Prince and has the attitude of James Brown. Dance techniques such as lock 'n' pop, hip kick or moonwalk were studied and used by Bruno.

On stage, Bruno Mars completely captivated the audience, but his dance moves and creativity were due to the rain of praise from the press and critics.

Music magazine Rolling Stone ranked him 35th on the list But the best performer of 2013. Meanwhile, Billboard magazine said he performed better than most artists today.

The fisherman of the world music industry

Known as the "perfect fisherman" in the world, Bruno Mars sets strict standards for himself in his work. He constantly asks others for opinions about his products and seems to be unconcerned but not appreciative.

Bruno always works hard to deliver the best products. Staying up until three o'clock in the morning in the studio or recording twenty different versions of the same song because "the atmosphere of the song wasn't quite what I wanted" was a regular occurrence for him.

Or when collaborating with "British painter" Adele on the ballad All I Ask, Bruno constantly re-edited the song even while recording. Later, he shared that he was extremely regretful because he did not replace the "lovers" in another one-of-a-kind tape.

It is this perfectionism that has earned Bruno Mars so much respect from his colleagues. James Fauntleroy, the musician who worked with Bruno on the 24K Magic album, commented on him:

"Yes but you're just an entertainer. But Bruno is a real musician. He's interested in rhythms and sounds in music."

In his two decades of singing, Bruno Mars has never lost sight of his musical seriousness. But the song is good, the voice is strong and the dance moves will always be the memory of the audience when it comes to him.
