short biography

Bruno is born in Honolulu, where he was born in 1985. Father Filipino, mother Puerto-Rican. The future artist grew up in a large family, he has four sisters. Despite the fact that the parents divorced soon after the birth of Bruno, they always maintained a good relationship. The boy closely communicated with his father. His parents are musicians. Mother had a good voice, she performed with her father Bruno in their family group. Dad played percussion instruments. The boy from early childhood grew up in a musical atmosphere, so it is not surprising that he followed in the footsteps of his parents.

Most artists do not carry their real names, given to them at birth, but come up with pseudonyms. And he was no exception. His name is Peter Jean Hernandez. Peter was an active, lively and inquisitive child, grew up to the music of Michael Jackson, from childhood he loved the work of Elvis Presley. A good musical taste, brought up by parents from an early age, played a big role in the work of the future artist. The musical career of the singer began very early, from the age of four he participated in family and other concerts, where he acted as a vocalist and showed good vocal abilities. Already at this age, he tried to compose his first musical compositions.

Since childhood, Peter loved to speak to the public, he liked that people applauded him and even then he understood that what he was doing was pleasant to those around him. People were delighted with the speeches of "Little Elvis." The period of parodies ended quickly, already at school he creates his own school group and simultaneously performs with his family. Peter was remembered to the public not only by his voice, but also by his outstanding appearance. Nature generously gave the boy lush hair, for performances he was done high bouffant, which was the hallmark of Elvis Presley.

Jackson and Presley were the heroes of Hernandez, he tried in many ways to imitate them, which he did well. Peter wanted to reach the same heights as they. Soon he was noticed, and the high point was not long in coming. At the age of seven, Peter performed the composition for the movie "Honeymoon in Las Vegas." Perhaps it played a role, because after graduation, Bruno immediately left for Las Vegas to build his singing career.

But at the initial stage, the young man composed the words of songs for other artists, including S. Kingston, T. McCoy and the others, was engaged in producing. As an independent singer already at adulthood, he debuted, recording a joint project with the creative team "Far East Movement". They began to really recognize him when the world heard the songs "Billionaire" and "Nothin 'on You" performed with T. McCoy. In 2010, the artist's premiere album is released - "Doo-Wops & Hooligans", which gained favor and good opinion from eminent critics. The debut musical project became so popular that it was based on the second honorary position in the US music charts.

At the same time, an unpleasant event occurred in Peter’s life. He was arrested by the police, who found drugs with him, although Bruno always said that he had never used cocaine. The investigation lasted long enough, and a few months later the court sentenced it — an impressive fine and community service. The musician got off easily, because he promised a considerable prison term. Fortunately, this unpleasant story was successfully resolved in favor of Bruno, and the imprisonment was avoided. Since then, the perpetrator has not been seen in the offenses.

In 2012, another album was released - "Unorthodox Jukebox", which had the same great success as the premiere. In 2016, the disc "24K Magic" was released. The songs personify him. He has no lyrical melodies that make you want to cry. The musician has energetic music, charging with powerful energy. Of course, there are touching songs in the repertoire of the singer, but this is rather an exception or an impulse of the soul at certain moments of his life.
