Editing Bruno Mars (section)

==Early Life==
Bruno Mars was born on October 8, 1985, in [[Honolulu, Hawaii]], to a family deeply rooted in music and performance. His father, Pete Hernandez, is a percussionist of Puerto Rican and Ashkenazi Jewish descent from [[Brooklyn, New York]], while his mother, Bernadette "Bernie" San Pedro Bayot, was a singer and dancer from [[the Philippines]].

Mars grew up surrounded by music, performing alongside his family's band as a child. He earned the nickname "Bruno" as a toddler due to his resemblance to the professional wrestler [[Bruno Sammartino]]. As a child, he performed as an [[Elvis Presley]] impersonator at a Honolulu club owned by his family.

After graduating from [[President Theodore Roosevelt High School]] in 2003, Mars moved to [[Los Angeles]] to pursue a music career.
