Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Honolulu, Hawaii. He grew up performing in his family's show band. After early success as a songwriter and producer with The Smeezingtons, he broke through with "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", then scored hits like "Uptown Funk" and the Grammy-sweeping album 24K Magic. His duo Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak revived 1970s soul. "Die With a Smile" with Lady Gaga, "APT." with ROSÉ and his 2026 single "I Just Might" kept him among the most-streamed artists of the year. Mars plays guitar, drums, bass and keys, and his funk-, soul- and R&B-rooted shows rely on a tight band, horn section and classic vintage-inspired gear.
