Bruno Mars is an 11-time Grammy Award-winning singer. He is best known for producing songs such as “Locked Out of Heaven”, “24K Magic”, “Finesse” and “Uptown Funk” with Mark Ronson.
Mars has been compared to the great Michael Jackson, thanks not only to his voice but to his stunning stage and show performances, which always have a retro vibe akin to the late “Thriller” crooner. He is now one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold over 130 million records worldwide.
Biography (age, origin)
Bruno Mars was born Peter Gene Hernandez to six children of Bernadette San Pedro Bayot and Peter Hernandez on October 8, 1985 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is of mixed race and ethnic origin. He is of Puerto Rican and Ashkenazi Jewry (Ukraine and Hungary) on his father’s side, Filipino and Hispanic on his mother’s side.
His family was fully invested in the entertainment business as his mother worked as a singer and dancer while his father played rock ‘n’ roll music. They led the family band The Love Notes, in which their son performed when he was four years old. He was known for playing Elvis Presley and performed songs by The Temptations and Michael Jackson, among others.
The high point of his childhood was when he performed at the 1990 Aloha Bowl halftime show and was credited as “Little Elvis” in a popular tabloid. He also had a cameo appearance in the movie Honeymoon in Vegas (1992).
Bruno Mars attended President Theodore Roosevelt’s high school and formed a singing group called The School Boys. He recorded a series of demo tapes, one of which was heard by a music industry insider in Los Angeles, California thanks to one of his sisters. Mars was immediately called to an audition and when he finished high school in 2003, he decided to move to the mainland to pursue a singing career.The following year, Mars signed a record deal with Motown Records but was dropped soon after. This prompted him to start from scratch to learn how to write music. He was mentored by noted record producer Steve Lindsey, who offered him a music publishing deal in 2005. Meanwhile, Mars formed a band covering songs around town with his brother Eric and other struggling artists like Jeff Bhasker.
He later joined forces with record producer and songwriter Philip Lawrence, with whom he wrote a number of songs for other established artists, eventually landing a record deal with Atlantic Records and releasing his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010), while The Rest became history.
What is his net worth
Before Bruno Mars could make a name for himself as a singer himself, he made a living as a songwriter for artists such as Rihanna, Flo Rida and Adele. However, after making a name for himself, Mars is said to have an estimated net worth of around $110 million.
He amassed his massive wealth primarily through music/album sales, record production, and world tours. In 2014, Mars reportedly earned $156.4 million from his Moonshine Jungle World Tour.
Is Bruno Mars gay?
For several years, the sexual orientation of the “Grenade” singer had been the subject of much speculation, especially after CNN published a report on its website that Bruno Mars came out as gay for Chicago radio station WENN. Mars officials were quick at this point to deny the claim and demanded that the report be retracted. So far there have been no recent reports that the singer is gay other than speculation.
Mars has a long-standing relationship with Puerto Rican model and actress Jessica Caban, who was born in New York on June 13, 1982, reportedly started dating in 2011 and moved into her superstar boyfriend’s Los Angeles mansion in 2012. Given this, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that Mr Bruno is not sexually attracted to his gender.
Height
Unfortunately, Bruno Mars is not blessed with his height, measuring just 1.65m, a good 5 inches below the average height of an American male.
