Browse piano sheets by Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak And Silk Sonic on Zen Virtual Piano. Silk Sonic is a duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. As a child, Mars had a small drum set, guitar, piano and percussion instruments, and he learned to play them. NPR reports that Anderson .Paak played drums in church as a child. He later worked in an assisted living home and engineered for a punk band, and while attending music school he formed his band, The Free Nationals. Mars's childhood drum set and .Paak's church drumming may suggest that percussion ran through both members' early years. Billboard says .Paak spent a decade moving between family's houses, friends' couches, odd jobs and sporadic music gigs. His early work is credited to Breezy Lovejoy, the magazine adds. Rolling Stone writes that both men have been homeless for stretches and both lost a parent young. In an NPR interview .Paak says, "I was always doing something," even when he was saying he quit. The decade of odd jobs and gigs and the band formed at music school may point to a musician who kept working in several settings. Rolling Stone names Dernst "D'Mile" Emile, a producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, as one of .Paak and Mars' core collaborators. Bootsy Collins gave the duo their name. Dr. Dre listened and offered feedback along the way, and on one song the drums came from Homer Steinweiss of the Dap-Kings. Rolling Stone reports that gear was chosen by consulting old session guys and reading old drumming magazines, with a focus on emulating old-school playing styles. A bunch of musicians played at once in one room, with just one or two mics on them. The naming by Bootsy Collins and the consulting of old session guys may suggest a project that drew on many people besides the duo. Does the drum set in Mars's childhood, beside the drums Homer Steinweiss contributed to one song, hint at drumming as a thread across the project? Four people wrote "Leave the Door Open": Mars, Brandon Anderson, Dernst Emile II and Christopher Brody Brown. Mars and D' Mile handled the production. It was released on March 5, 2021, by Aftermath Entertainment and Atlantic Records as the album's first single, and it received several nominations and four Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. .Paak rejected the idea in September 2024 that the duo was defunct and said "Silk Sonic always has a place to put out more music." Five Silk Sonic songs are being performed during Mars's The Romantic Tour (2026), with .Paak. The four credited writers on the single and the five songs on Mars's tour with .Paak both involve more than one person working together.
