Bruno has previously admitted he has always been a huge fan of singing, ever since he was growing up.
He said: "We never had the financial resources for me to be trained; instead I learned from watching and mimicking films.
"I always longed to be in the entertainment industry. As a toddler, my uncle put me on the table, switched on the radio and I would dance and entertain people.
"The performing persona that turns on when there’s music and singing was always in me."
