00:28
Feel like you got constantly keep proving yourself
00:30
You gotta constantly keep getting out there and showing them that you're more than just
00:34
That one song on the radio that's playing and that's what I had to do on the first time around
00:39

01:25
That's the best tool I think in any artist is
01:29
Go out there and show them show them what you can do

I thought you know you get signed and
01:44
You know, the world is yours then you're gonna be rubbing shoulders with
01:47
Timbaland and you know, everyone's gonna be writing songs. Are you just gonna be you know, it's not like that at all
01:52
And I needed to learn that you know that you have to do it yourself
01:58
You have to write your own song, you know, you have to
02:02
You have to walk into these labels with your package. This is what I am. I'm Bruno Mars. Here you go
02:08
Get in or get out
02:29
Hey guys, this is Bruno Mars. My EP is out right now. It's better if you don't understand on electro records
02:50
Now that these songs came out my voice is on the radio, you know
02:53
I don't want to just put something out just to put it out
02:55
I want to put as much love and time as I did those songs, you know and songs that I've written for other people
03:02
it was just like
03:04
Really, you know every word counts and I want to do that for my album. So there's a little pressure right now, but I ain't scared
03:12
I'm about to get real cheesy. Get ready. It means that hard work pays off
03:26
I
03:28
Worked hard on this, you know, I'm putting I put everything I got everything that I learned in the past
03:33
Two years and I'm still working on it. I'm still working on it
03:36
I feel like I have such a bigger view of what the kind of content I need
03:41
You know the things that I want to be performing the way I want things to look and especially the way I want to feel
04:07
The
04:18
First band I thought of was the red-hot chili peppers. They're just this soulful band and not just musically but as
04:25
As people, you know, I sat down with flea and and he's so passionate about music for even till this day doing it for so long
04:33
He's still so passionate about creating music and performing and
04:38
You know, I want to surround myself with guys like that forever
05:02
Cuz I
05:06
Don't believe me just watch it's crazy that what the song's gonna do
05:11
I mean and it just kind of keeps going you think like everybody's sick of it by now or whatnot
05:17
But I don't know. It's just like it's one of those things. I don't try and explain too much
05:32
I
05:41
Well, it proves that I'm the greatest right
06:02
I
06:03
Love performing and making it feel like a party. So that means don't write a hundred ballads, you know, let's have fun
06:24
I'm happy that it took is as long as it took because I
06:28
