Peter Gene Hernandez, aka Bruno Mars, is one of our favorite
music artists. Born into a musical family in Hawaii, Bruno performed locally in Honolulu
before moving to Los Angeles after high school. As a producer, writer and backup
vocalist, Bruno became known around LA for his style an energy. Bruno's career
exploded in 2010 after the release of his first solo album
Doo-Wops &
Hooligans with the hit singles

racking up hit after hit and electrifying audiences with his high octane performances.
