Early Life

Bruno Mars was born Peter Gene Hernandez on October 8th, 1985, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents were both musicians who met while performing in a show. Bruno Mars was acquainted with the world of music from an early age. He gained fame as an Elvis impersonator at a very young age. His whole family had a band together in which he performed as a member two nights every week when he was six. At six years old, he also made an early appearance in “Honeymoon in Vegas” and was featured on “The Arsenio Hall Show”.

When Bruno Mars was 12, his parents divorced. His father was not a wealthy man, and he took Bruno along with his brother to live apart from the rest of the family. They often lived in impoverished conditions due to his father’s low income. During this period, Mars continued to do live Elvis impersonations, and he also appeared in a band alongside his friends from high school. Mars’ sister eventually played his demo reel for a producer in Los Angeles. After the producer expressed his interest in the young talent, Bruno Mars moved to Los Angeles after graduating high school to pursue a career in music.

Career

Relocating to Los Angeles, Bruno Mars started working under the stage name “Bruno Mars.” “Bruno” was his childhood nickname, and he added “Mars” to avoid being stereotyped as a Latin artist. Although various record labels, including Motown, expressed interest in Mars, his career quickly stalled. In order to push forward, Mars started to focus more on songwriting and producing. He experienced success writing songs for producer Brandon Creed, who used one of Mars’ songs for a Latin group. During this time, Mars also produced songs for artists like Adam Levine and wrote songs for groups like the Sugababes.

The years 2009 and 2010 were the major years for Bruno Mars, and he broke through after featuring on “Nothing on You” by B.o.B. and “Billionaire” by Travie McCoy. Both of these songs reached top spots in the charts and put Bruno Mars on the map for the first time. He later released his first EP on the heels of this success entitled “It’s Better If You Don’t Understand.” Later, in 2010, Mars started to work on his debut album, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans.” The lead single, “Just the Way You Are,” reached the top spot on charts all around the globe. Another single from the album, “Grenade,” also reached to top spot on the US Billboard Hot 100. After the release of this successful debut album, Bruno Mars started working with other high-profile artists like Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg.

“Unorthodox Jukebox” was another successful album by Bruno Mars when it was released in 2012. It eventually went on to sell more than 6 million copies and featured singles such as “When I Was Your Man.” From 2013 to 2014, Bruno Mars toured around the world and grossed $156.4 million in the process. In 2014, he headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, a role he would take up once again in the future. At the end of 2014, Bruno Mars was featured on another incredibly successful track, “Uptown Funk.”

Following some delays, Mars’ next album was released in 2016; it was titled “24K Magic.” This album received critical acclaim and included tracks such as “That’s What I Like” and “Finesse.” Mars toured again from 2017 to 2018.

Bruno Mars Bruno Mars Net Worth/ ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images Musical Style Bruno Mars relies heavily on retro influences and performs with his band, The Hooligans. Elvis Presley was a huge influence on Mars-mostly in terms of persona and public image, since he spent a number of years impersonating the legendary rock star. He also impersonated Michael Jackson as a young performer, and this legend also had a major impact on Mars-particularly with regard to his vocal style. Though Bruno Mars leans more towards R&B, he “refuses to pick a lane,” and his albums often meld genres and musical styles. Getty Legal Issues Shortly after Bruno Mars released his debut album, he was arrested in Las Vegas for possession of cocaine. He later pleaded guilty and was not charged. In return, Mars pledged to stay out of trouble for a year, pay a fine, and complete 200 hours of community service. He later stated that he regretted the incident. Bruno Mars has also been the

subject of various copyright lawsuits, with many older bands and labels claiming that he is borrowing too heavily from vintage songs. “Uptown Funk” is especially notable in this regard, and a number of complaints against Mars have been made. Alleged $50 Million Gambling Debt It had been rumored that Bruno Mars built up a debt of $50 million from gambling with the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and because of that, he had to sign a residency deal to pay his debt back. The rumor has indeed been completely debunked. No evidence whatsoever supports the story, and neither Mars nor MGM has corroborated such rumors. In fact, Mars’ Las Vegas residency was a very lucrative one and fitted right into his history of mega performances. The rumors likely blossomed from word of his affection for poker and other casino games, but they were unfounded and exaggerated. Personal Life Mars started dating model Jessica Caban in 2011. They live in a mansion in Hollywood Hills and have a Rottweiler named Geronimo.
