Mars launched his career in the late 2000s as a co-founder of the production team The Smeezingtons, working with artists including Flo Rida, Cee-Lo Green, Lil Wayne, and Adam Lambert, among others. As an artist he topped the Billboard Hot 100 before he even released his own debut single: he hit number-one as a featured artist on 2009s Nothin on You by B.o.B., which preceded his own breakthrough single as a lead artist, 2010s Just the Way You Are. It was such a sudden breakthrough that he earned seven Grammy nominations and one win in 2011 before his debut album Doo-Wops and Hooligans was even eligible.

From there Mars sustained a rare level of commercial and industry success. He has won Grammys for Album of the Year twice (for his own 24K Magic and as a producer on Adeles 25) as well as Record of the Year twice (Uptown Funk and 24K Magic). He earned an additional Album of the Year nomination for Doo-Wops and extra Record of the Year bids for Nothin on You, Grenade, and Locked Out of Heaven, plus another one as a producer a Cee-Los F*ck You.

Several of his singles have been certified diamond for achieving more than 10 million units in sales and streams: Just the Way You Are, Grenade, When I Was Your Man, Uptown Funk, and Thats What I Like. All that while embracing his musical roots, throwing it back to classic eras of R&B and delivering live performances reminiscent of James Brown, Prince, and Michael Jackson. That blend of modern style with classic influences may be why the recording academy has showered him with awards.
