Bruno Mars (born October 8, 1985, Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.) is an American singer and songwriter who is known for both his catchy pop music—which often features upbeat lyrics, blends different genres, and has a retro quality—and his energetic live performances. He was the son of Pete (“Dr. Doo-Wop”) Hernandez, a Latin percussionist of Puerto Rican extraction from Brooklyn, and Bernadette Hernandez, a Filipina vocalist and hula dancer. He was nicknamed Bruno when he was a toddler and began entertaining in Honolulu at the age of four as an Elvis Presley impressanator, and impersonating Michael Jackson, and he taught himself to play piano, guitar, bass, and percussion. After graduating from high school, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a musician. About that time he took the stage name Bruno Mars.
