Mini bio
An early start.
Bruno grew up performing in Hawaii. At four, he was already impersonating Elvis Presley in his father and uncle’s variety show.
Finding his own voice.
After high school, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue music. Songwriting came before his solo breakthrough: in 2010, his voice reached listeners through B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ on You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire.” His debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, followed that year.
Songs built for the room.
His solo work includes Unorthodox Jukebox and 24K Magic. With Anderson .Paak, he formed Silk Sonic and released An Evening with Silk Sonic in 2021. The Romantic brought him back to solo albums in 2026.
