Romeo Santos & Prince Royce

Anthony "Romeo" Santos, born July 21, 1981, is an American singer, songwriter, and the former lead vocalist of the pioneering bachata group Aventura. Santos has been instrumental in bringing bachata music to a global audience, achieving significant success on Latin music charts and gaining popularity across Europe.

Born in The Bronx, New York, to Dominican and Puerto Rican parents, Santos' musical journey began at twelve when he joined his church choir. His distinctive, soulful voice became a hallmark of Aventura's sound. Despite the group performing in both English and Spanish, their initial impact in the English-speaking media was limited. However, their 2002 hit "Obsesión" achieved remarkable success, topping the charts in Italy for sixteen consecutive weeks.

Geoffrey Royce Rojas, known professionally as Prince Royce, was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. His parents hail from the Dominican Republic, the birthplace of bachata. Growing up, he was raised by his mother and siblings following his parents' divorce. A passionate singer from a young age, Prince Royce gained industry attention after re-recording the classic song "Stand By Me." This led to a record deal and the release of numerous successful tracks.

Among his most recognized hits are his renditions of "Stand By Me" and his original song "Corazón Sin Cara." His musical achievements have been acknowledged with two Latin Grammy Awards. In recognition of his societal contributions and his role as a positive influence on the youth of his hometown, August 9, 2018, was proclaimed "Prince Royce Day" in New York by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
