Bruno Mars is a 14-time Grammy Award nominee who has sold more than 45 million singles worldwide and has more than one billion views on YouTube. Mars first achieved worldwide visibility and success as a featured writer/producer/singer on two massive summer hits in 2010 (McCoy’s “Billionaire” and B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You”). His debut album, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans” was released in October 2010 and has been certified 39x platinum worldwide.

On Dec. 11, Mars will release his highly anticipated sophomore album, “Unorthodox Jukebox,” including the singles “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Young Girls.” Mars and his songwriting/production team The Smeezingtons (Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine) partnered with heavyweight producers, including Jeff Bhasker, Mark Ronson and Diplo to create the 10-track album.
