There's probably a strong argument for putting Barack Obama here, but if we're being strict when it comes to our definitions, Obama isn't a celebrity or a performer. He's a politician. That means we have to look elsewhere for inspiration in Hawaii, and we find it in Bruno Mars. In terms of singing, dancing, performance, and releasing songs that stay in your head for months, he might just be the best since Michael Jackson.
Growing up in Hawaii, Mars was surrounded by music. His mom was a hula dancer, while his dad played drums and percussion. Mars watched and learned from both. From those humble beginnings, he's racked up more than 200 million record sales, and achieved his first five Billboard #1 singles faster than Elvis Presley. Can you think of a song in the past ten years that was as big as 'Uptown Funk?' No, us neither.
