As the featured composer and lead singer of chart-topping superstars Aventura, Romeo Santos has spearheaded the chart revival of bachata, fully embracing the traditional Dominican sounds of his heritage, while incorporating modern urban elements into a definitive new style that has become Latin music’s most successful and distinctively New York sound since the famed days of the Fania All-Stars. Having come together as teenagers in the Bronx, Aventura worked tirelessly over a decade to create multiple chart-topping hits, and ever-escalating multi-platinum sales – culminating with their 2009 masterpiece “The Last”. The landmark album spent more than five months at #1 and topped all Latin music sales in the country for both 2009 and 2010. With the unprecedented success of “The Last,” Aventura won The 2009 American Music Award for Favorite Latin Artist, swept Premio Lo Nuestro two years in a row (including the top award: Entertainer of the Year), swept the 2010 Billboard Latin Music Awards with NINE Awards (including Artist & Album of the Year), and dominated Univision’s national youth award show Premios Juventud. Aventura also became Latin music’s most in-demand live act of the time, with performances ranging from an invitation appearance at The White House, to a record-setting four-night Sold-Out stand at Madison Square Garden for over 76,000 fans. A historic first for any Latin artist, this put the Aventura frontman in the select pantheon of artists such as Madonna, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen.
Having won both Billboard and ASCAP Songwriter of the Year honors for the album’s four #1 singles, Romeo has become the definitive voice of young U.S. Latinos. Now, as Romeo prepares for the fall 2011 release of his first solo album (Jive/Sony Latin), he continues his unmatched track record with a #1 debut for first single “You”. With a rare #1 chart debut as an early indicator of what is likely to come, including the artist’s first English crossover tracks, Romeo Santos’ solo album will likely be one of this year’s most anticipated releases.
