In pop music, the public usually see the results - the hit records, the Grammy Awards performances, the concert tours - but not all the work that goes into getting into the spotlight. And not everyone realizes that, even if you have a lot of talent, chances are you won't make it.

I don't like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.

Everyone calls me Bruno; they don't ever call me Peter - that was just my government name.

You pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way.

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

You gotta know what you are, who you are and how you want to be portrayed.

I am so proud and so happy to be Filipino.
