Summary

Born Peter Gene Hernandez in Hawaii in 1985, Bruno Mars's first taste of fame came at the age of six, when he played a young Elvis impersonator in the 1992 film Honeymoon in Vegas. The winner of 27 Grammy nominations and 11 awards, Mars endured poverty and rejection—including being signed and subsequently dropped by Motown Records within a brief period—on his way to superstardom. Mars would find his footing as a songwriter with production group the Smeezingtons before breaking out on his own as an artist with hits like "24K Magic," "Locked Out of Heaven," and "Uptown Funk." This fascinating biography details the life of one of pop music's most eclectic songwriters and performers.
