Birth name
Bruno Mars, Peter Gene Hernandez, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to two parents, Pete and Bernadette. -
Bruno was Born
His nickname Bruno Mars came to him as a baby from his older sister Jamie because he was always confident, independent, strong-willed, and he would sometimes act like a brute. However I like to believe that he got his name Bruno from Frank Bruno, his father's favorite boxer at the time, and Mars because he is out of this world. -
Mini Elvis
At a early age Bruno started picking up music. As a kid he always had music around him, whether it was going to concerts with his parents, or just playing with instruments, young Bruno loved playing music. Bruno's first performance on stage was as an Elvis impersonator at his parents concerts. -
