Mars first achieved worldwide visibility and success as a featured writer/producer/singer on two massive summer hits in 2010 (McCoy's "Billionaire" and B.o.B's "Nothin' On You"). His debut album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" was released in October 2010 and has been certified 39x platinum worldwide. The album included the 12x platinum blockbuster single "Just the Way You Are," which hit No. 1 in multiple countries across the globe and won the critically acclaimed artist a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" claimed two additional hit singles: the 10x platinum "Grenade" and 6x platinum "The Lazy Song." Following his worldwide success with "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," Mars created the critically acclaimed ballad "It Will Rain" for the original motion picture soundtrack for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1."

On Dec. 11, Mars will release his highly anticipated sophomore album, "Unorthodox Jukebox," including the singles "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Young Girls."
