Starting his career at an early age, Bruno Mars has made a name for himself for his catchy pop tunes, diverse musical influences, and iconic signature looks. Known for his collaboration with distinct artists and directors, Mars has not only proven his prowess in music but also in the visual arts. Who can forget the energetic and vintage aesthetics that resonate throughout the music video of "Uptown Funk"? It was directed by Bruno Mars himself and Cameron Duddy, a renowned Hollywood director known for his work with bands such as Paramore. As a modest homage, Bruno Mars paid tribute to the funk vibe of Minneapolis group Morris Day and The Time, with vibrant street scenes and infectious dance routines.
Meanwhile, in early 2021, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak introduced their side project, Silk Sonic, which somewhat broke the internet. Their debut song "Leave The Door Open" was a nod to the golden age of soul music with its rich melodies and harmonies, complemented perfectly by a video underlining those same classic vibes directed by Mars and Florent Déchard. Interestingly, you might not know that the band's name, Silk Sonic, was borrowed from funk legend Bootsy Collins. When Collins lent his iconic voice as the ‘Special Guest Host’ for the ‘Intro’ track on Silk Sonic’s album, he unwarrantedly christened the duo Silk Sonic and they found the name charming enough to keep!
