Romeo Santos was born on July 21, 1981 in the Bronx borough of New York City to a Puerto Rican mother and a Dominican father. He attended public school in the Bronx, and sang in his church choir.
Aventura's third studio album, "Love & Hate," came out in 2003. That was followed by the 2004 live album "Unplugged." Aventura went on to have its mainstream breakthrough in 2005 with the studio album "God's Project," which peaked at number five on the Top Latin Albums chart and launched such hit singles as "Ella y Yo" and "Un Beso." In 2007, the group sold out Madison Square Garden in New York, becoming the first bachata act to do so. The concert was turned into the live album "Kings of Bachata: Sold Out at Madison Square Garden"; a DVD of the concert was also released. Aventura released its fifth and final studio album, "The Last," in mid-2009. The album became the group's highest-charting release, peaking at number one on the Top Latin Albums chart and number five on the Billboard 200. It spawned the hit singles "Por Un Segundo," "All Up 2 You," "Su Veneno," and "Dile Al Amor." Aventura broke up in 2011, but later reunited for various concerts and tours. The group played its final concert in late 2021 in the Dominican Republic.
In 1993, brothers Lenny and Max Santos (no relation to Romeo) formed a band with their cousin called Banda Sueño. The cousin didn't stick around for long, prompting Lenny and Max to seek a new singer. They were eventually introduced to Romeo Santos, who subsequently brought on his cousin Henry. The four boys formed the band Los Tinellers, and performed locally in the Bronx. In 1995, the the group was discovered by manager Elvin Polanco, who helped the boys record their first studio album, "Trampa de Amor." The following year, Los Tinellers began working with manager Julio César García, who reinvented the group as Aventura. In 1998, the group signed with Premium Latin Music, and in 1999 released its debut album, "Generation Next." The album included six songs from "Trampa de Amor," including the hit "Cuándo Volverás." In 2002, Aventura released its second album, "We Broke the Rules," which launched the international hit single "Obsesión." The album was especially successful in France and Italy, where it peaked at number one.
