BRUNO MARS: ‘IT TOOK ME AGES TO FIND SUCCESS’
BRUNO Mars says his game plane for success was to move to California, get discovered, get signed, release a record and tour the world.
“But that’s not always how it goes,” said the star, who has worked with Sean Kingston, Brandy, Flo Rida and Adam Levine.
“I was frustrated, waiting around to work with producers and writers. Then I said, ‘I can do that. I don’t need anybody else,’ so I started writing and producing tracks.”
Mars was then approached by a record company who wanted one of his productions for boy group Menudo.
“I said that was my art — my music. They offered me 20 grand. That’s all it cost to sell out,” he says of the song titled Lost, which he says went “double plastic. It wasn’t a great song. I wrote it when I was 17 and I didn’t know what to write about.
“For years I had been getting rejected and rejected and rejected. I was like, ‘Is this going to happen?’ Then everything took off.
“It’s easier when you understand more about what you’re doing. It’s like a football player knowing the rule book in and out and knowing the sizes of the pads you wear when you go into the field.
“You have to know every detail about your craft, and when I was younger I didn’t know. And I’m still learning every day.”
Mars — who collaborated with Travie McCoy on a track called Billionaire – recently revealed what he’d do with a billion dollars.
“If I had a billion dollars I would pretty much do what Travie would do,” he said.
“It is a lot of money. I don’t know if you could spend a billion dollars in one lifetime.”
