Bruno Mars is one of the best pop stars of his time with outstanding skills in all fields, including singing, dancing, composing and performing. It is evaluated that it perfectly performs various genres such as punk, sol, reggae, hip-hop, and rock as well as pop. Recently, he formed the R&B duo Silk Sonic with rapper and singer-songwriter Anderson Paak.
He topped Billboard's main singles chart "Hot 100” with songs including "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade." He has held a total of 15 Grammy Awards so far. In particular, at last year's Grammy Awards, he showed off his potential to sweep awards in four categories: "Record of the Year," "Song of the Year," "Best R&B Song," and "Best R&B Performance."
