The musician's real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, and in the earliest days of his career, when he was hoping to sign with a major label, he was apparently encouraged to focus on Latin music, though that is not the path that he wanted to take. Thankfully, Mars opted for his own signature blend of R&B, vintage sounds and top 40 pop, which has turned him into one of the most successful artists of all time.
In an effort to make his latest single, "Risk It All," the second from his album The Romantic, as big a smash as possible, Mars recently put a twist on the cut. He recently released a new version in Spanish under the name "Lo Arriesgo Todo." That track debuts on multiple Billboard charts this week and earns an artist not typically associated with Latin music his first No. 1 on multiple rosters.
