When we are called to help our friends in needĬuz that's what friends are s'pose to do Oh yeah Peter Gene Hernandez (born Octoin Waikiki, Hawaii), better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is a Filipino-Puerto Rican American singer-songwriter, producer and musician signed to Atlantic Records. Count on Me Lyrics by Bruno Mars from the Doo-Wops & Hooligans album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more: If you ever find. If you ever find yourself lost in the dark 'n you can't see If you ever find yourself, stuck in the middle of the sea You gotta sing as if Jodeci is performing after you and dance as if Bobby Brown is coming up next.With valentine's coming around the corner, just wanted to create a piece to celebrate good friendship and love, and this Bruno Mars song seemed to fit perfectly. Watching them made me feel like I had to be as great as they were in order to even stand a chance in this music business. Most importantly, they were the superstars that set the bar for me and showed me what it takes to sing a song that can get the whole world dancing, or give a performance that people will talk about forever. They have brought me so much joy and created the soundtrack to my life filled with memories that I’ll never forget. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for these artists who inspired me.

And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two. How are you going to tell me that? My music is for anybody who wants to listen to it.” And how are you going to tell me that this song that I’m writing is only going to be catered to Puerto Ricans or to white people or only Asian people. You’re making a business out of these songs that I’m writing. It’s an oxymoron - the music business like the art business. I see people that don’t know what I am, and it’s so weird that it gets them upset. Mars just kind of came joking around because that sounds bigger than life. The real story is: I was going to go by ‘Bruno,’ one name. ![]() My dad nicknamed me Bruno since I was 2 years old. ![]() My father’s name is Pedrito Hernandez, and he’s a Puerto Rican pimp. Why would I f–king say that? Who are you fooling? And why would anyone say that? That’s so insulting to me, to my family. “I never once said I changed my last name to hide the fact that I’m Puerto Rican.
