Early life

Bruno Mars real name is Peter Gene Hernandez. He grew up in a musical family. Bruno Mars father, Pete, was a Latin percussionist from Brooklyn, and his mother, Bernadette was a singer. Mars received his nickname, "Bruno," while he was still a baby.

In Waikiki Beach, his family performed a Las Vegas-style revue that included Motown hits, doo-wop melodies, and celebrity impersonations. Growing up around entertainers, the star began picking up musical instruments from early childhood.

At the age of 4, he joined the family musical act as an Elvis impersonator and quickly became one of the show's stars. He continued to perform with his family throughout his childhood, and as he approached adolescence, he added Michael Jackson to his impersonation repertoire.

The talented musician went to Roosevelt High School, where he and a few friends formed a band, known as the School Boys. They performed classic oldies hits alongside his family's act at the Ilikai Hotel in Honolulu.

After his high school graduation, he relocated to Los Angeles, California. In his first few years in Los Angeles, the producer made every effort to make a breakthrough in the music industry. And mainly because he grew up performing so regularly in Honolulu, Bruno grew impatient with waiting for his singing career to move forward. In the process, Mars turned to songwriting.
