Amazing Facts About Bruno Mars
A fantastic singer & songwriter with many awards in his cabinet, proving his talent. If you’re a fan, check out these top thirty fun facts on Bruno Mars.
Bruno Mars’ real name is Peter Gene Bayot Hernandez. His stage name, “Bruno Mars,” was inspired by the wrestler Bruno Samartino, because, as a child, Bruno was confident, independent, and strong-willed, like the wrestler. The ‘Mars’ came along because girls used to say he was “out of this world,” so he used the planet Mars as his last name.
His Twitter is @BrunoMars, and he has over 43 million followers as of 2023!
Bruno Mars is 36 years old and was born on October 8, 1986, in Waikiki, Hawaii.
His father, Pete, was a Latin percussionist, and his mother, Bernadette (Bernie), was a singer.
He was one of six children!
At the age of 4, Bruno performed with his family’s band, The Love Notes, as an Elvis impersonator.
Growing up, Mars said he was heavily influenced by Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley and even had the nickname of “Little Elvis.”
Bruno Mars is of Puerto Rican and Filipino descent.
Bruno’s fans are known as Hooligans.
He attended Roosevelt High School, where he and his friends formed a band called “The School Boys.” This helped him become comfortable and confident on stage.
As well as an extremely talented singer, he also plays his famous piano, drums, bass, and guitar!
When Bruno was 15 years old, he had a crush on his teacher (over twice his age), and he gave her a love letter with his mother’s ring in it, which he had stolen from her. The teacher told his mother and gave her the ring back.
His favorite color is red.
Bruno Mars’s favorite food is Chicken Adobo, which is the national dish of the Philippines.
Once graduating from High School, he moved to Los Angeles, where he then started writing songs. He says the reason for this is that when he was in Hawaii, he never really needed to write.
In the early 2000s, Bruno started to find success by writing songs for many popular artists, including Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” and K’Naan’s “Wavin’ Flag”, which was the theme song for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
On September 19, 2010, Bruno was arrested for possession of illegal drugs in a Las Vegas casino bathroom.
Mars broke out as a singer in 2010 with his hit “Nothin’ on You.”
