Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), known professionally as Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and dancer. Regarded as a pop icon, he is known for his three-octave tenor vocal range, retro showmanship, musical versatility, and live performances, accompanied by his band, the Hooligans. Raised in Honolulu, Mars gained recognition in Hawaii as a child for his impersonation of Elvis Presley, before moving to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a musical career.
Mars established his name in the music industry as a songwriter and co-founder of the production team the Smeezingtons. He rose to fame as a recording artist after featuring on the US number-one single "Nothin' on You" (2009) by B.o.B. Mars's first three studio albums—Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010), Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), and 24K Magic (2016)—found critical and commercial success, with the lattermost winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. During the 2010s, Mars achieved further success with the US chart-topping singles: "Just the Way You Are", "Grenade", "Locked Out of Heaven", "When I Was Your Man", "That's What I Like", and "Uptown Funk", which became Billboard's best-performing song of the decade.
In 2021, Mars released An Evening with Silk Sonic alongside Anderson .Paak, as the musical superduo Silk Sonic. The album featured the US number-one single "Leave the Door Open". In 2024, he released two record-breaking number-one duets, "Die with a Smile" (with Lady Gaga) and "APT." (with Rosé). His first solo album in ten years, The Romantic (2026), was led by the global chart-toppers "I Just Might" and "Risk It All".
Mars has sold over 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He amassed ten number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent a record 31 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200. Mars is the only artist to surpass 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify and the first to receive six diamond-certified songs by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Mars's accolades include 16 Grammy Awards, 17 American Music Awards, 9 Billboard Music Awards, 5 Brit Awards, 7 MTV Video Music Awards and 14 Soul Train Awards. Time named him among the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011.
