Global Filipino brand Max's Restaurant boosts its support for international
recording artist and two-time Grammy awardee, Bruno Mars by announcing that it
is the official restaurant of The
Moonshine Jungle Tour: Bruno Mars Live in Manila concert.
Slated to take the stage on March
22, 2014, 8:00 pm at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, the "Nothin' On
You" half-Filipino vocalist is expected to draw in thousands of Filipino
"brunofanatics" and concert enthusiasts. Mars' much-awaited stop in
Manila is part of his ongoing world tour to promote his second studio album,
"Unorthodox Jukebox." Part of the proceeds from his concert will be
donated to helping Yolanda victims.
Bruno Mars is one of the most
respected and in-demand artists today. He has sold over 115 million records all
over the world as a singer, producer and
songwriter. A recipient of a number of prestigious awards, Mars has also
catalogued 22 Billboard "Hot 100" hits. He was named as one of the
top 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine in 2011, and was ranked
number 1 on the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2014.
Born
Peter Gene Hernandez, Bruno Mars grew up in a musical family. His father, Peter
Hernandez, was a Latin percussionist while his Filipino mother, Bernadette
"Bernie" San Pedro Baluyot, was a singer in Hawaii. Mars wrote and
performed music at a very young age and was exposed to a diverse mix of reggae,
rock, hip hop and R&B music. He had his share of hurdles early on in his
career, but his persistence to succeed and remarkable gift in music helped
catapult him to worldwide fame. It was
only a matter of time before he captured the world's attention after helping popularize hits like
"Nothin on You" by B.o.B, and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy.
"Max's,
a global Filipino brand, believes in showcasing the exceptional talent of
Filipinos. We are very proud to support a multi-awarded international artist
like Bruno Mars. As the official
restaurant of his Moonshine Jungle concert
in Manila, we share Bruno Mars' love for great music and world-class food. It
is an experience that we would love to share with every Filipino," shared
Bobby Simborio, Corporate PR and Media Manager for Max's Group of Companies.
