Within the short period of time I’ve been doing this gig as an impersonator and look alike of Bruno Mars, I’ve experience many things I never thought I’d get to experience from making kids sing and dance to working with a destination management company providing corporate entertainment in Hawaii! Doing events has also given me the opportunity to also talk to lots of die-hard Bruno fans. His fans love to share with me their Bruno Mars stories or encounters they’ve had with him in the past as well as fans who surprisingly have questions for me regarding what I do. Many of these fans seem to share the same curiosity, asking questions I hear frequently, hence this blog! Although there are lots and lots of questions I get asked regarding me being a lookalike and impersonator, below I listed five of the most asked questions I get about me being a Bruno Mars Tribute Artist.
#5 – How Long Have You Been Singing For?
This is a debatable question because I, like most people out there in the world, have sung in the shower or in the car for fun, but I never considered myself a singer whatsoever. So, I say I officially started singing when I decided to pay attention to my vocals in September 2017. That’s also when I decided I wanted to become a lookalike and impersonator of Bruno Mars. As of April 2019, I now have 15 songs on my set list that I sing and most are his top hits such as 24K Magic, Uptown Funk, That’s What I Like, and Treasure. I’m continually working towards hitting his higher ranges with vocal exercises to be able to perform more of his songs.
Since then, I’ve realized that becoming comfortable as a performer takes consistent practice, not just natural ability. I spend a lot of time studying his live performances to understand his vocal delivery and stamina. Each new song I add pushes me to improve both my range and breath control. It’s been a gradual process of building confidence on stage while staying true to the energy his music demands.
#4 – What’s your favorite Bruno Mars Song To Perform To?
ALL OF THEM! Ha. Well, if there’s one I could choose, I would say 24K Magic. To me, this song is pure party energy, and whenever I perform it, I can’t help but have fun with it. It was actually the very first song I ever decided to sing and perform when I started this gig in September 2017. At that time, 24K Magic had only been out for about a year, and it was still one of the hottest tracks playing everywhere.
I even created my first performance outfit inspired by Bruno’s look in the music video. From the white hat and colorful shirt to the gold jewelry, black shorts, white loafers, and the perm, I tried to make it as believable and detailed as possible. That costume really helped me step into the character and set the tone for my performances. Over time, it’s become more than just an outfit—it’s part of the experience that audiences recognize right away.
On a side note, there hasn’t been an event I’ve done where this song hasn’t been requested at least once. It’s one of those tracks that instantly gets people moving no matter the crowd. Every time it plays, the energy in the room shifts, and that’s what makes it such a staple in my set.
#3 – Is that your real hair?
Yes and no. (What!?)
Let me explain. I naturally have straight black hair and when I first started impersonating Bruno, I wore a wig to make the look more believable. Some of my first pictures taken I am wearing the wig. The first few performances the wig moved around, which meant I couldn’t give it my all without having to worry about the wig and hat falling off. It was a big pain in the butt, so I decided to make a commitment and take it to the next level… I got a perm!
So, yes, it’s my real hair, but no, I don’t naturally have the luxurious curls you see because it’s a perm 🙂 The image below shows two pictures. The image above is how it looked when I was wearing the wig, the bottom image is me now with the perm.
Over time, the perm became a big part of locking in the overall look and making the character feel more consistent on stage. It also made performances a lot more comfortable since I don’t have to worry about anything shifting mid-song. The change gave me more freedom to focus on movement, interaction, and energy instead of fixing my hair or hat. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions for both confidence and performance quality.

#2 – What made you want to be an impersonator and look alike?
There are a lot of reasons as to why I wanted to become a Bruno Mars Tribute Artist. To make this short and sweet, I thought it would be a good idea to get into the celebrity lookalike and impersonator industry and also be a corporate event entertainer to make people happy by not only making people believe they are in the presence of Bruno with the look, but by also singing and dancing like him to add to the experience. Seeing people’s reactions is what I love, and it makes me happy to know I’m able to bring smiles to crowds and make them feel as if Bruno Mars is in the house!
Over time, I realized it’s not just about the resemblance—it’s about creating a full entertainment experience from start to finish. I enjoy studying his performances so I can capture the energy, movement, and personality that fans connect with. Every event feels different, and that unpredictability keeps it exciting for me as a performer. At the end of the day, my goal is always to leave people with a memorable moment they didn’t expect but really enjoyed.
#1 – Have You Ever Met Bruno Mars?
Now, although this question isn’t really about me portraying Bruno per se, this is the number one question I get asked ALL the time at almost every event when portraying him. When people ask me this question, I answer it in the same way: “No, not yet.” Then I usually follow it up by saying, “I’m bound to meet him—I live in L.A., and we’re not even 15 minutes apart from each other. His record label and where he recorded his latest album 24K Magic is in the same city I live in. It’s a small world, so I’m sure I’ll meet him somehow, some way.”
Every time I say that, people usually get a good laugh or react with surprise, but I honestly do think it could happen one day just based on proximity alone. In the entertainment world, especially in Los Angeles, you never really know who you’ll cross paths with or when it might happen. Until then, I just enjoy the fact that I get to celebrate his music regularly in front of fans who love it just as much as I do. It keeps the experience fun, grounded, and always a little exciting wondering if that moment might eventually come.
Being a Bruno Mars Tribute Artist has been an incredible journey that continues to evolve with every performance, rehearsal, and event I’m a part of. What started as a fun idea has grown into something that allows me to connect with audiences in a very unique and meaningful way. I’ve had the chance to meet amazing fans, perform at unforgettable events, and constantly challenge myself as both a performer and entertainer.
At the end of the day, it’s all about creating an experience that feels real, exciting, and full of energy—something that brings people together through music. I’m grateful for every opportunity I get to step into this role and share that moment with a crowd, whether it’s a corporate event, private party, or public show.
Thank you for taking the time to read these most asked questions. I hope it gave you a better understanding of what I do and what goes into being a Bruno Mars Tribute Artist. See you at the next show!
