No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.
From Bruno Mars
My father moved to Hawaii from Brooklyn and my mother came there as a child from the Philippines. They met at a show where my dad was playing percussion. My mom was a hula dancer.
Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.
Everyone calls me Bruno; they don't ever call me Peter - that was just my government name.
In my songs, I'm not saying something that's never been said before. The have lyrics aren't going to blow people away. It's the emotion and the melody that drive it home.
I guess if I'm a product, either you're chocolate, you're vanilla or you're butterscotch. You can't be all three.
Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that's what you're gonna get!
I don't think anyone ever plans to change line-ups, but it's something that comes with being in bands. I was in a band once and there were always problems - members come and go - and some of the world's biggest bands have changed line-ups loads!
