Being surrounded by musicians his entire life, it wasn't a surprise to see him follow his family steps.
After an unsuccessful link with Motown Records, he signed with Atlantic Records in 2009 - where he was able to become recognised not only as a songwriter but also as a singer after singing and co-writing the hit songs Nothin' On You by B.O.B. and Billionaire by Travie McCoy.
His first record Doo-Wops & Hooligans was released in 2010, we wrote a review that can be seen here, was successfully acclaimed by critics and had has main singles songs like Just The Way You Are and Grenade.
He also counts with an EP It's Better If You Don't Understand, in 2010.
Bruno Mars is also responsible for hit songs like It Will Rain, Marry Me or The Lazy Song.
The also Grammy winner has recently released his second very expected studio album on December 11, 2012 under the name Unorthodox Jukebox.
The lead single Locked Out Of Heaven is a very interesting reggae funky and new spirited song by this young man.
Besides the instant resembles with The Police, Michael Jackson and even Dire Straits, I would really accentuate on The Police's sound which is notorious during the quick up-beated rhythms.
This funky jive, easy-going song about a certain girl and what he feels about her really got into my most favourite singles of this year. The video is really elemantary but serving the purpose of the song - easy to listen, catchy and with a lot of groove, something really vintage like it was recorded on VHS videotapes.
All the energy, all the mystery around Locked Out Of Heaven brings the song to a new level of joyfulness.
"Never had much faith in love or miracles
Never wanna put my heart on the line
But swimming in your world is something spiritual
I'm gonna get every time you spank the night"
