Bruno Mars is no stranger to winning awards as of late:
Apart from his music career, Mars is taking a step into the world on television. Just a few days ago we learned that Mars will produce a show for NBC with Empire producer Brian Grazer.
The show will be a sitcom that “follows a loud, boisterous musical family from the Bronx.”
