Honolulu is a melting pot.
I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don't know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them.
My father's a musician and my mother's a singer. My dad's originally from Brooklyn and he was a Latin percussionist so I've always had instruments around the house. He used to have a show like a 1950s rock and roll show with Little Richard music. They would do doo-wop songs and stuff like that.
As proud as I am of Doo-Wops I feel like, 'Oh, man. People haven't seen nothing. They don't even know what I'm about to do,' and that's what I can't wait to show the world.
Everyone calls me Bruno; they don't ever call me Peter - that was just my government name.
You know, my sister sings, my brother plays drums in my band. My whole family is a bunch of musicians.
I'm the Nickelodeon version of DangerMouse.
There are no record companies in Waikiki.
I am so proud and so happy to be Filipino.
I tend to overthink things. I'm not the guy who screams 'This is a world smash!' when I finish a song.
The confidence Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson exuded from stage, I'm a fan of.
With my being from Hawaii and being very family oriented I don't really have a fear of a tragic ending. I dont see any tragic ending for me.
My dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you'll see you had to be sharp onstage.
I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
I always say I wanna work with Alicia Keys. I'm in awe of her.
I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.
'Doo-wop' is a very special word for me. Because I grew up listening to my dad who, as a Fifties rock & roll head, loved doo-wop music.
