Bruno Mars is one of this year’s American Music masters…
The 28-year-old part-Puerto Rican singer has received three American Music Award nominations, including a nod for the coveted Artist of the Year prize.
Mars is up against Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake in the highly competitive category.
The “When I Was Your Man” singer is also up for Favorite Male Artist, Pop/Rock and Favorite Artist, Adult Contemporary.
But Mars isn’t the only Latino artist nominated for an AMA award…
Miguel earned a nod in the Favorite Male Artist, Soul/R&B category, where he’ll face off against Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake. It’s only the second career nomination for the 27-year-old half-Mexican singer.
Meanwhile, the Favorite Artist, Latin category features three of the hottest names in Latin music: Marc Anthony, Prince Royce and Romeo Santos.
