Bruno Mars, an American singer was born as Peter Gene Hernandez. He also writes songs and is a record producer.
Oh wow I thought that was his real name. 
Me too! lol He was born in Hawaii into a family of musicians. He started making music when he was quite young and he also started performing as a child.
When did he become popular?
In 2010, his debut album "Doo Wops & Hooligans" had many singles which made the top 100.
I remember that album! It was really good. Which label is he signed with?
He was dropped by Motown records and then he received a contract with Atlantic records in 2009.
Has he made any songs recently? I feel like I haven't heard from him in a while.
The last album I believe was Unorthodox Jukebox in 2012 and was number 1 in the United States.
