The duo primed fans for An Evening With Silk Sonic over the last several months with a series of singles, starting with their chart-topping song “Leave The Door Open.”
Recently, the group linked up with Hot 97, and during their conversation, .Paak recounted the first time he met Bruno Mars.
“I was opening for him on the 24K Magic Tour back when we were doing Europe in 2017, and I was opening up for him for a couple months, and that was the first time I really seen him do his thing live, and I became an instant fan,” .Paak said. He later added, “After awhile, I got him in the studio, and we started working on some stuff in Europe and that was really the building blocks of starting Silk Sonic.”
