Anthony "Romeo" Santos is the lead singer and featured composer of the Bachata group, Aventura. He was born on (July 21, 1981) in the Bronx, New York to a Dominican father and to a Puerto Rican mother. At twelve years of age Anthony became a member of the church choir. Around the same time, he commenced his love affair with Bachata, long before the style became so explosively popular. A natural songwriter, Anthony’s early compositions were steeped in the tradition of legendary artists such as Blas Duran. In 2004 Romeo Santos married a Dominican girl name Aries. They had 2 kids and lived in Dominican Republic for two years and subsequently moved to New York. They are still together and are very happy together. Undoubtedly Anthony’s sweet, soulful voice has played a key role in the group’s success. The group Aventura consists of him, his cousin, and two other members who are brothers. All members share the same last name but are not all related. In 2006, Anthony took an ASCAP Award in tropical music for his megahit song “Obsesion” and another yet in the American market in Pop – the first time a Hispanic writer has won an ASCAP award in the American market.
