After releasing his now RIAA-certified gold debut album, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” in October, Bruno is the second-most nominated artist at this year’s Grammy Awards with 7 nominations including “Record of the Year,” “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance,” and “Song of the Year,” the latter for his work on Cee Lo’s hit song.
