Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars was five years old when he wet himself on a Honolulu stage in the middle of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love." His parents wondered whether they were making a mistake by putting him in front of crowds. He never wavered.
That child was born Peter Gene Hernandez on the 8th of October 1985. Years later the world would know him as Bruno Mars, a singer, songwriter, record producer and dancer who has sold over 150 million records worldwide. He is the only artist to pass 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He holds 16 Grammy Awards, and Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011.
What did a boy from Waikīkī learn on hotel stages that no record label could teach him? Why did a man who now fills stadiums spend years unknown, writing hits for other singers? And how did a performer so openly devoted to the sounds of the past become one of the biggest pop stars of his era?
Bernadette San Pedro Bayot danced hula and Peter Hernandez played percussion in the same Honolulu show, and that is how Bruno Mars's parents met. His mother had emigrated from the Philippines and was of Filipino and Spanish ancestry. His father came from Brooklyn, New York, with Puerto Rican and Ashkenazi Jewish roots that trace back to Hungary and Ukraine. Their son grew up in the Waikīkī neighborhood as one of six children.
At the age of two, he received the nickname Bruno from his father, who thought the toddler looked like the professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. The house was full of music. His mother sang and danced, and his father performed the songs of Little Richard. Rock and roll, reggae, hip-hop and rhythm and blues all filled the rooms. An uncle who worked as an Elvis impersonator urged three-year-old Bruno to sing songs by Presley and Michael Jackson.
By age four he was performing five days a week with the family band, the Love Notes, including shows at the Sheraton Waikiki. In 1990 the Hawaiian tabloid shopper MidWeek ran him as "Little Elvis," and he performed in the halftime show of that year's Aloha Bowl. He had a cameo in the 1992 film Honeymoon in Vegas and was interviewed by Pauly Shore on MTV. At six he appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show.
Through grade school he played two shows a night, covering songs by Frankie Lymon and Little Anthony. Along the way he picked up a small drum set, a guitar, a piano and assorted percussion instruments. In 2010 he credited this life directly: "Growing up in Hawaii made me the man I am."
When Mars was 12, his parents divorced, which ended the Love Notes. His father's varied businesses failed soon after. Mars, his brother and their father lived in what Mars called the "slums of Hawaii," staying in a car, on rooftops and in a closed bird zoo called Paradise Park, where his father had once worked. He changed schools, was bullied, and later became popular. Inspired by the rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, he began playing guitar.
At President Theodore Roosevelt High School in Honolulu, Mars sang in a group called the School Boys. They opened for his father's new band with songs by the Isley Brothers and the Temptations. He also opened for a large magic show, and he earned $75 per performance impersonating Michael Jackson.
Mike Lynn, head of A&R at Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment label, first heard Mars on a demo that Mars's sister played for him in Los Angeles. Lynn summoned the young singer west. In 2003, shortly after finishing high school, Mars made the move. He lived on Mansfield Avenue, and the poverty and squalor of the street surprised him.
The name came next. Mars kept the Bruno nickname from his father and added Mars, explaining, "I felt like I didn't have no pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars." The name also had a defensive purpose. The music industry tried to pigeonhole him as another Latin artist and tried to convince him to sing in Spanish.
Reality hit quickly. In Hawaii he had never had trouble paying rent, but in Los Angeles his phone was getting shut off. He took a DJ job paying $75 cash under the table, though he did not know how to DJ, and he lost it fast. A contract with Motown Records in 2004 "went nowhere," and a conversation with will.i.am's management led nowhere either. Motown dropped him in less than a year.
In 2005 he landed a music-publishing deal with the record producers Steve Lindsey and Cameron Strang at Westside Independent. Strang recalled that Mars concluded the best way forward was writing and producing hit songs. Lindsey became a mentor to Mars and to the fellow songwriters Brody Brown and Jeff Bhasker, whom Mars had met through Lynn. Bhasker remembered the lectures on what makes a hit, noting that talent and ability are one thing and understanding a hit is "a whole other discipline." Lindsey said he "held Mars back for five years" while they learned an extensive catalog of hit music.
On nights out, Mars played cover songs around Los Angeles in a band called Sex Panther, with Bhasker and his own brother Eric Hernandez. Meanwhile the songwriter Philip Lawrence was told he should meet Mars, but he lacked the money for bus fare. Keith Harris, drummer for the Black Eyed Peas, offered to reimburse whatever the trip cost. Lawrence replied, "Just give me five dollars back for the bus."
Lawrence and Mars began writing together and collected a string of rejections from record labels. In 2006 Lawrence introduced Mars to Aaron Bay-Schuck, who would later become his A&R manager at Atlantic Records. After hearing Mars play a couple of songs on guitar, Bay-Schuck wanted to sign him immediately. The label felt it was too early, and it took about three years before Atlantic actually did.
Brandon Creed was looking for songs for a reunited Menudo in 2008 when he heard "Lost," a song Mars and Lawrence had written for Mars himself. Creed bought it for $20,000. The money let the pair keep working, and they decided to write and produce for other artists. Creed went on to manage Mars for nine years.
Mars became a producer before he became a successful solo artist, and he formed the production team the Smeezingtons. His songs went to Alexandra Burke, Adam Levine, Brandy, Sean Kingston and K'naan. The first big hit he and Lawrence wrote was Flo Rida's "Right Round" in 2009. Mars called it their first taste of what could really happen with a hit they "hundred-percented." He co-wrote the Sugababes song "Get Sexy" that year and sang backing vocals on their album Sweet 7.
His own voice kept turning up on other people's records. He sang on "3D" for Far East Movement's album Animal and appeared on Jaeson Ma's debut single "Love." He also joined Travie McCoy on the charity single "One at a Time." Then came B.o.B's "Nothin' on You" in 2009, which topped both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. McCoy's "Billionaire" followed in 2010, and both songs reached the top ten in several countries.
Mars had a theory about why these guest spots worked: "I think those songs weren't meant to be full-sung songs. If I'd sung all of 'Nothin' on You', it might've sounded like some '90s R&B." He also wrote a successful 2010 single for CeeLo Green and later said he did not think anyone else could have sung that song. The Guardian's Michael Cragg later named the pattern "the Bruno Mars strategy," describing a songwriter turned popstar who writes hits for others and then appears alongside them.
On the 11th of May 2010, Mars released his debut extended play, It's Better If You Don't Understand. It peaked at number 99 on the US Billboard 200, and its video for "The Other Side" featured CeeLo Green and B.o.B. It was a small start. The first full album was only months away.
"Just the Way You Are" arrived on the 20th of July 2010 as the lead single of Doo-Wops & Hooligans. It topped the charts in Australia, Canada and the United States. The album, released on the 5th of October 2010 and produced mostly by the Smeezingtons, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and has sold 15.5 million copies worldwide. "Grenade" topped the Hot 100, and "The Lazy Song" topped the UK and Danish charts.
Unorthodox Jukebox, released on the 11th of December 2012, was a deliberate widening of the sound. Mars told Billboard he wanted the freedom to walk into a studio and decide whether the day called for hip-hop, R&B, soul or rock. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and then topped it, and it has sold over six million copies. "When I Was Your Man" reached number one on the Hot 100, making Mars the fastest male artist to five number-one singles, with Elvis Presley the lone exception.
On the 10th of November 2014, Mark Ronson released "Uptown Funk" with Mars. It spent fourteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and seven weeks atop the UK Singles Chart. Billboard would later name it the best-performing song of the 2010s. In 2015 the Gap Band's "Oops Up Side Your Head" was credited in its writing after similarities came to light, a story that returns later.
Mars released 24K Magic on the 18th of November 2016, after the album was delayed from its planned March date by his Super Bowl appearance. It has sold over five million copies, and "That's What I Like" topped the Hot 100. At the 2018 Grammy Awards, Mars won every category in which he was nominated, including Album of the Year for 24K Magic. He then turned to collaboration. With rapper Anderson.Paak he formed the duo Silk Sonic, whose album An Evening with Silk Sonic came out on the 12th of November 2021. "Leave the Door Open" reached number one on the Hot 100 and won Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2022 Grammys.
On the 16th of August 2024, he and Lady Gaga released "Die with a Smile," his first number one on the Billboard Global 200. A month later came "APT." with Rosé, which gave him a second. Both songs set records on the Global 200, with 18 and 12 weeks at the top respectively. On the 27th of February 2026, Mars released The Romantic, his first solo album in ten years. It opened at number one on the Billboard 200 with 186,000 US equivalent album units. Its lead single, "I Just Might," became his first song to debut atop the Hot 100, and his tenth number one overall.
Rolling Stone ranked Mars 35th on its 2013 list of the 50 best live acts working at that moment. The magazine wrote that anyone from the age of 5 to 95 could leave a Bruno Mars concert feeling the show was designed just for them. NFL executives Sarah Moll and Tracy Perlman, after seeing his 2013 summer tour several times, described the crowd as running from 11-year-old girls to 65-year-old women.
The Hooligans are the reason. His band includes a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and a horn section, and all of them dance and sing backing vocals. Critics noted how different the live arrangements sounded from the albums. The shows feature all-band dance routines, and Mars's footwork is inspired by James Brown, complete with the splits. Pyrotechnics, strobe and laser lighting appear regularly, and Mars plays drums and guitar himself.
His preparation is homework. Before shows he watches Brown's T.A.M.I. Show, Jimi Hendrix's Live at Woodstock, or Prince performing "Purple Rain." John Fossitt, the Hooligans' keyboard player, said in 2025 that Mars studies videos of Brown and Jackson to learn how they interact with an audience.
In 2010 and 2011, Mars made a choice that cost him money. He turned down offers to open arena tours and played theaters and ballrooms instead. That was less lucrative, but it grew his fan base.
On the 8th of September 2013, he was announced as headliner of the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers as guests. It was the first halftime show headlined by a performer under 30 in a decade. With 115.3 million viewers, it drew more people than the game itself. In Hawaii, ticket resales in the following week led state Senate president Donna Mercado Kim to introduce Senate Resolution 12, nicknamed the Bruno Mars Act. It would have limited ticket purchases within 48 hours of an on-sale date to a physical box office. The Senate passed it, but it died in conference committee.
The tour numbers kept climbing. The Moonshine Jungle Tour grossed $156.4 million, and the 24K Magic World Tour of 2017-18 grossed more than $300 million. His later world tour of 115 shows grossed $359.8 million. In 2024 he became the first artist since Michael Jackson to sell out seven shows at the 55,000-capacity Tokyo Dome. He also played 14 concerts in Brazil, beating RBD's 2006 record of 13 for an international artist. In April 2026, he received the key to the Las Vegas Strip, and Park Avenue outside Park MGM was renamed Bruno Mars Drive.
Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called Mars one of pop's most versatile and accessible singers, a "universal donor." Mars has a three-octave tenor range. Tim Sendra of AllMusic said his vocals on Doo-Wops & Hooligans slip "into your ear like honey." Jim Farber of the New York Daily News heard in him the purity and range of mid-period Michael Jackson.
Mars says songs arrive unannounced. He does not sit down planning to write one. Inspiration comes "out of the blue," and he usually works at a guitar or piano. He plays drums, guitar, keyboard, bass, piano, ukulele and congas. His longtime collaborator Brody Brown explained the division of labor, saying Mars handles both the melody and the lyrics, with Lawrence writing alongside him.
His influences read like a record collection. His father's 1950s doo-wop collection taught him the power of simple four-chord songs that "got straight to the point." Prince, the Police, Stevie Wonder and Freddie Mercury shaped his ear. Bob Marley and local Hawaiian bands gave him his reggae roots, and Jay-Z and the Roots shaped his writing. He admires Tina Turner, Jackson, Prince and Jackie Wilson for confidence on stage. About Hawaii's reggae radio stations he said, "It's just songs. That's what makes it cross over so well. The song comes first."
He began co-directing videos in 2010. With Cameron Duddy he co-directed ten music videos through 2017, and Duddy said they "can fight" over ideas but always find common ground. Mars choreographed the video for "Treasure," which won Best Choreography at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. With Florent Dechard he directed the video for "Leave the Door Open," which won the BET Award for Video Director of the Year. Mars and Ben Winston earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for the 24K Magic Live at the Apollo special.
Each album gets its own decade. For Doo-Wops & Hooligans, Mars wore 1960s-inspired suits and faded hair. During 24K Magic he imposed a studio dress code, favoring jewelry and "fine clothes" over sweatpants to coax out "groovy, smooth and soulful songs." For Silk Sonic in 2021, he wore the wide collars and leisure suits of the 1970s.
In 2013, Mars told Rolling Stone that record executives had trouble categorizing him. He said one "music industry decision-maker" rejected "Nothin' on You" because of his race. The experience made him feel like a "mutant" and was, in his words, his lowest point. In 2018, he faced social-media accusations of cultural appropriation. Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson were among the Black artists who dismissed them. Mars answered on The Breakfast Club in 2021: "The only reason why I'm here is because of James Brown, is because of Prince, Michael Jackson... This music comes from love and if you can't hear that, then I don't know what to tell you."
The law has followed him in several forms. Mars was arrested on the Las Vegas Strip at the Hard Rock Casino on the 19th of September 2010 for possession of cocaine. He pled guilty to felony drug possession, was fined $2,000 and was given 200 hours of community service and 12 months of probation. His charges were dismissed in January 2012 after he met the plea deal's conditions. Several copyright claims have also trailed his hits. Collage sued in 2016 over "Young Girls," and Lastrada Entertainment filed suit in 2017 over similarities to Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce." Those suits were dropped or settled. "Treasure" was re-registered with new writing credits because of its likeness to Breakbot's "Baby I'm Yours."
In March 2024, a report claimed Mars owed $50 million from gambling losses. MGM Resorts denied it, and Mars has since poked fun at the rumor.
His business ventures share an unmistakable retro stamp. SelvaRey Rum, which he redesigned in a 1970s style in 2020, gave all profits to Honolulu Community College's Music & Entertainment Learning Experience until the end of 2021. His Lacoste x Ricky Regal sportswear line arrived on the 5th of March 2021, and he wore a Tiffany & Co. pinky ring to open his Las Vegas lounge, the Pinky Ring, on the 12th of February 2024. Fender made a limited-edition "Bruno Mars Stratocaster" in a color called Mars Mocha Heirloom. Mars joined Hello Kitty to mark her 50th anniversary, and in June 2025 he headlined Season 9 of Fortnite Festival.
His giving has been steady. He donated $100,000 in 2014 to the orphans of Bantay Bata after Typhoon Haiyan. In 2017, he and Live Nation gave one million dollars from a Michigan show to Flint water crisis victims. In 2020 he gave $1 million to the MGM Resorts Foundation for employees hurt by the pandemic.
On the 31st of May 2013, Mars learned at an airport that his mother was gravely ill and flew straight to Hawaii. She died at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu the next day, at age 55. In 2014 he helped found a Grammy Camp Scholarship Fund for needy Hawaii students in her honor, and on the 27th of September 2017 he opened it to applicants across the United States.
