When he was little his parents and family members always called him “Bruno” , from a famous wrestler named Bruno Sammartino. They called him this because he was chubby and small. Since they called him that, they used it as his stage name. Then, one day, him and his crew were messing around in the studio, and they were saying that Bruno was out of this world. Then, coming up with the last ame Mars. As He got older, he graduated from high school and started his music career. His parents were and still are very supportive about the idea of Bruno starting to be a musician. He has many fans all over the world. Just like many of the RCMS students here.
