Bruno Mars, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, is set to tour India in November, with confirmed shows in Delhi (Nov. 21), Bengaluru (Nov. 28), and Guwahati (Nov. 29), and a Mumbai date to be announced.
Mars, known for hits like Just the Way You Are and Grenade, has sold over 150 million records and earned multiple Grammys, reinforcing his status as a global pop icon.
Born Peter Gene Hernandez on October 8, 1985, in Honolulu, Hawaii, Bruno Mars grew up in a deeply musical family. His father was a percussionist, and his mother was a singer and dancer—early influences that shaped his artistry. He earned the nickname “Bruno” from his father at age two and later honed his performance skills impersonating Elvis Presley.
Mars launched his career in Los Angeles, initially co-writing hits like Nothin’ on You for B.o.B. as part of the production team The Smeezingtons. His breakthrough as a solo artist came with his 2010 debut album Doo‑Wops & Hooligans, spawning global hits including Just the Way You Are and Grenade.
A multi‑Grammy winner, Mars has garnered acclaim for genre-blending music—melding funk, soul, pop, R\&B, and rock—with energetic live shows and retro flair. His modern classics include 24K Magic and his work with superduo Silk Sonic, which earned Record of the Year and Song of the Year Grammys.
