'KEEP STREAMING,' the Honolulu, Hawaii-born performer, whose full name is Peter Gene Hernandez, wrote on the post, which was accompanied by a dancing emoji. 'I’ll be out of debt in no time.'. The Locked Out of Heaven vocalist spoke about his impressive streaming totals Tuesday as he inked an extension with MGM to play seven additional shows in his residency later this year in Las Vegas, Billboard reported.
