Bruno Mars wins big at the Grammys, Alessia Cara is discovery of the year!
Bruno Mars has roots in Puerto Rico and the Philippines, but was born in Hawaii. He comes from a musical family and his role models were Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. He lives in Las Vegas and at the age of 32, has had a rather stormy and unusually interesting life.
In 2010, the media was full of news about the scandal of his arrest for possession of cocaine. But more important than this is his music, which has earned him fans all around the world. He has shared the stage with famous artists such as Ellie Goulding. How is this possible? His songs are positive, catchy and his videos are quite fun. In short, Bruno Mars is entertaining!
Bruno Mars: album, record and song of the year
This year’s Grammy Awards confirmed his success. 24K Magic was chosen as the album of the year, and the song of the year is That's What I Like, which has more than 1.15 million views on YouTube.
Sympathetic Alessia Cara is the newest discovery
This year’s discovery of the year is Alessia Cara, a 21-year-old singer from Canada whose natural look, behaviour and penetrating voice appeal not only to younger audiences.
“I’m shaking. Even as I child, I used to sing in the shower and dream of winning a Grammy. You might think I’ve prepared a speech, but I haven’t,” Alessia said on the stage.
Kendrick Lamar also took home 4 awards, one of which for the best rap song on which he collaborated with Rihanna – the track Loyalty.
Leonard Cohen was posthumously recognised with an award in the Best Rock Performance category for You Want It Darker.
