American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars says he always wanted to create music and never yearned for a day job.
The 28-year-old singer was recently named Billboard's 'Artist of the Year', reported Contactmusic.
"My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. And hopefully, my music does all the talking. I want to keep that dream forever. That's it. That's what I love to do," Mars said.
The singer's second album, which released last year, topped many charts.
However, Mars did not worry about its popularity.
"People were saying, 'Man, the second album is the most important because there's the sophomore jinx.' Or, 'Did he get lucky? Will he be able to do it again?' I'm like, 'Where is this coming from?' I didn't know whether people or radio was going to like it," he said.
"I just knew that I need to love it, that I gave it everything. That's the feeling I tried for with every song I put on this album and with everything I write," he added.
