ROMEO SANTOS

Romeo embarks on his journey as a solo artist with his debut solo album, entitled Formula, slated to release in fall, 2011. The artist has chosen an eclectic mix of Bachata, R&B, Ballads - up tempo and fusion to delight his fans. With all of the Bachata tracks to be written, arranged and produced by Romeo himself, he has invited select A-list producers to collaborate on the Anglo tracks – just about anything can be expected.

Romeo’s unquestionable creative flow has made him an icon in the music industry with the myriad of honors bestowed upon Aventura for nearly a decade. Almost every year since 2005, Romeo has won awards in one or more categories at ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors & Publishers) and Billboard. By late 2002, Romeo’s mega hit, “Obsesión,” as performed by Aventura, had traveled the world – Latin America, Asia, Europe, Israel, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Russia and many more. There was a preponderance of cover recordings of “Obsesión,” including one by Third Wish, a band based in Germany. In 2004, “Obsesión” by Aventura was #1 and the Third Wish version was #2. In 2006, after Frankie J had covered “Obsesión” and the song was #1 on mainstream charts for nearly 22 weeks, Romeo took the ASCAP Song of The Year in tropical music and another in the American market in Pop – the first time an Hispanic writer had won an ASCAP award in the American market. In 2007, Romeo took the Billboard Composer of the Year Award over legendary writers such as, Marco Antonio Solis and Joan Sebastian. He has also penned hits for artists such as, Wisin & Yandel (“Noche de sexo”), Thalia (“No no no”), El Torito (“Me voy” aka “El anillo”) and Anthony “El Mayimbe” Santos (“Matame”).
