The man behind the
wonderful voice
When I see your face,
There’s not a thing
that
I would change
‘cause you’re amazing,
just the way you are..
The video clip of this has
recently been shown a lot on some TV music programs. The lyrics are catchy and
the music is easy to listen too. It’s sung softly by a Filipino-Puerto
Rican-American guy named Peter Hernandez, or Bruno Mars, with a slightly falsetto
voice. Let’s find out more about him!
“Every body in my family sings,
everyone plays instruments. My uncle’s an incredible guitar player, my dad’s an
incredible percussionist, my brother’s a great drummer and he plays in our
band. I’ve just been surrounded by it,” said Bruno about music in his family. It’s
true that his family has been influencing him with a mixture of reggae, rock,
hip-hop and R & B.
Growing up in a musical family,
this Libra guy who was born in Hawaii, October 8, 1986, used to like to
impersonate pop singers like Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley when he was
young. Then, in 1992, Bruno got an opportunity to play a role as little Elvis
in a movie titled Honeymoon in Vegas. Lucky him!
Shortly after graduating from President
Theodore Roosevelt high school, Bruno decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue
his career in music. And what he has achieved now is not an overnight success. He
started his stardom as someone behind the scenes, a member of a song-writing
team called The Smeezingtons, which he founded with Philip Lawrence and Ari
Levine. They composed loads of songs for different talents, including Travie
McCoy’s “Billionaire,” Brandy’s “Long Distance,” and K’Naan’s “Wavin Flags,”
one of the theme songs of the 2010 World Cup. Bruno even took part in singing
some of these songs.
Having succeeded as a co-writer
and feature-artist, this son of Pete and Bernadette Hernandez released his EP
(Extended Play) titled It’s Better If You Don’t Understand on May 11, 2010. The
EP reached the ninety-ninth position on the Billboard 200 in the same week.
It took Bruno about five months
after he released his EP to launch his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans,
which was digitally released on October 4, 2010. The album’s physical version
was issued a day later. The lead single, “Just The Way You Are” reached the top
of Billboard Hot 100. Bruno mars is a multi-talented musician. He composes
songs, sings them, and plays instruments. Music is really a part of his life.
