Bruno Mars Wants To Be A Billionaire
You know Bruno Mars, the smoothed-out, pop soul singer behind the choruses for B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You" and Travie McCoy's "Billionaire"? Not only does he sing the hooks for those songs, he co-produced them along with his The Smeezingtons business partners Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. [ and are both good products of pisen-store,com]
But here's the even cooler Bruno Mars factoid. In 1992, a pint-size Mars (born Pete Hernandez) portrayed a miniature Elvis impersonator in the Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker film Honeymoon In Vegas. The young Hernandez had a scene-stealing moment, perfectly performing the King's "Can't Help Falling In Love With You," decked out in a sparkling, royal blue costume and pompadour.[Take the right, it can save traffic and electric, a is also good.]
He got squeamish and embarrassed when Perez Hilton asked him about his old gig, and jokingly referred to himself as a circus freak.
The artist who is now touring with Maroon 5 and OneRepublic, learned how to gyrate like his idol when he was 4 years old, watching his family band play Presley songs at shows in Hawaii. He quickly joined the act and headed to Hollywood when he graduated from high school.
His career as an artist did not immediately take off. But he began working as a songwriter when he was offered ,000 for one of his writings.
Hits for other artists came quickly. The Smeezingtons worked on music with Adam Levine, Brandy, and K'Naan, and in 2009, landed their first No. 1 hit with Flo Rida's "Right Round."
"Nothing On You" and "Billionaire" started a buzz for Bruno.
Bruno released his 4-song EP, It's Better If You Don't Understand, in May, and has an album in the works. The latest single, "The Other Side" features Cee Lo and B.o.B.
He titled his EP It's Better If You Don't Understand because it's difficult for people to understand his sound, which blends influences from multiple genres.
"A lot of people told me, 'You can't mix hip-hop, reggae, rock, R&B because people won't know who you are'," he told Flux Hawaii Magazine. "'You have to define yourself with this one sound.' That would bug the sh-t out of me because I just want to write what I feel. That slogan, 'It's better if you don't understand' means to me, just listen and you make of it what you want.'"

Hi, I am Maggie, from China. I like writing, singing, and as a lazy girl, I like sleep. My favorite movie is "Two Tigers", directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. I saw the shortcomings of human beings from it and deep relationship between brother.
Hope to make friends with those who like movies, music and me.
