Artist of the Week - Bruno Mars

This weeks featured Artists of the Week is Bruno Mars. Not only has he had a massive hit with his first album, as well hit singles, he has already been covered on the X-factor (see earlier post)

I have mainly come to like through number of sources the first was from the original song that was covered by Matt Cardle, then through through Capital Radio. The more I have heard his music the more I have come to like it. There is just something about it that makes it stand out especially the track "Just the way you are".

Peter Gene Hernandez, better known as Bruno Mars, was born in 1985 and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Being part of a musical family at an early age he began making music and performing in various musical venues in his hometown. This led him to embark on a musical career and in order to follow his dreams he moved to Los Angeles. Things didn't start off to well for the young Bruno and and he had to find his feet in the business and it was until he signed for Atlantic Records when he was 24 that he finally found his place in the industry. And what a place that was he was nominated for seven Grammys, winning Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Just the Way You Are". What a start to a career and after just one album you can here his music everywhere at the moment.

The CD is in the car and ready to go. I hope you like the selection of songs I have picked for the blog post and you will join in with me and listen to him this week. It is a lovely CD that shows off his talent for various styles of music. Just what you need as you are find your own way in the music business.
