Quote

You aspire to be as great as Michael Jackson is as an artist. I don't think any artist in pop, rock or hip-hop has ever done it any bigger than him. You know what I mean? He's the man.

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.

You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

There's always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.

I grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.

Today, I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don't know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them, from 'Redemption Song' to 'Is This Love?' and 'I Shot the Sheriff.'

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.

I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).
Bruno Mars

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.
Bruno Mars

I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.

If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.

What I'm hoping is that every album I'm going to do will give my audience something different, and that they'll grow as I do.

It's dedicating yourself to your craft. Spending thousands of hours in a studio learning how to write a song, learning how to play different chords, training yourself to sing. You know, to get better and better.
Bruno Mars

I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.

We all grew up idolizing another musician. That's how this works. That's how music is created.
Bruno Mars

I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.
