Before Bruno started making his own name in the industry as a singer, he first worked for other artists' music and wrote many songs that we know today.
The first time Mars was exposed to the "business" side of the music industry was when he was introduced to songwriter Phillip Lawrence who helped him write, compose, and record a song.
They presented it to a record label that wanted another artist to perform the song.
Bruno ended up selling it because of the need for money, but it nevertheless served as an eye-opening experience for him.
