The Unpolished Gem Behind Adele and Bruno's Grammy Wins

This year's Grammy awards were a major night for chart-topping artists Adele and Bruno Mars. Adele swept away the major Award for Record of the Year with "Someone like you," while Bruno took home the trophy for Best Solo Performance for "Count on you." However, behind these Grammy darlings lies an unsung hero - a new songwriter by the name of Hamza who helped shape both acts' award-winning material.

Unknown to most, Hamza had actually penned Bruno Mars' smash single "Count on You," which took home the coveted Grammy for Best Solo Performance. According to sources close to Mars, he was so taken with Hamza's raw songwriting ability that he agreed to record the song as his own. And it seems Hamza's catchy lyrics and infectious melody really resonated with voters this year.
