Bruno Mars Biography
He was born Peter Gene Hernandez and was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Later in 2003, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career.
His brother has continuously worked as a drummer for his backup band. His sisters Tiara, Tahiti and Presley, as well as his cousin Jaime (she moved in with the brothers due to parental issues), form the all-girls musical group The Lylas.
Speaking of her mother, she was seriously ill, and when it was time for Mars to know, she returned from an overseas concert in May 2013 and immediately got on a plane to Hawaii.
Unfortunately, her mother died the next day (Saturday June 1, 2013, at age 55, at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii). According to the Associated Press, her cause of death was as a result of a brain aneurysm.
The singer had to move on with his life so on June 7, 2013, he broke his silence about the loss of his mother on Twitter, writing, “So grateful for all the love during the hardest time of my life. I’ll be back on my feet soon. That’s what mom wants, she told me.’
He is well known for his stage performances, retro showmanship and for performing in a wide range of musical styles, including R&B, funk, pop, soul, reggae, hip hop and rock.
He has his band, The Hooligans, who backed him up to play a variety of instruments, including electric guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, drums, and trumpet, and also serve as backing vocalists and dancers.
