Aventura band bios: Anthony "Romeo" Santos / Leny Santos / Max Santos / Henry Santos Jeter
Anthony "Romeo" Santos – lead singer and featured composer
Born June 21, 1981 in the Bronx, New York to a Puerto Rican mother and a Dominican father. 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. Undoubtedly Anthony's sweet, soulful voice has played a key role in the group's success. However, Anthony's songwriting is unique, progressive, poetic and down-to-earth. He is the Bronx version of Juan Luis Guerra. Spinning tales of the tough reality of growing up in the concrete jungle, Anthony's tunes captivate audiences from all walks of life, young and old. back to top
Leny Santos – guitarist, producer/arranger
Born October 24, 1979 in the Bronx, New York, Leny fell in love with music at age 15. Like most kids his age, his music choice was hip hop. However, with Dominican parents, Bachata was a permanent household staple- the soulful twang of the "requinto" always in the background- day and night. It was only logical that Leny would experiment by blending his two favorite musical styles- Bachata and hip hop. It is Leny who created the unique Aventura sound. His excellence and creativity as a producer are evident from the first bar of any tune on Aventura's albums. back to top
Max Santos – bass guitar
Born 1982 in the South Bronx, New York. Max started playing at 12 years of age, borrowing a bass at school. At home, he collaborated with his brother Leny, experimenting with rhythms in duo bass and guitar. Max was always a rock lover and thus brings elements of rock into Aventura's sound. Max is also an excellent rap artist and is featured on the latest album "Love & Hate" on the track entitled "Don't Waste My Time". back to top
Henry Santos Jeter – singer and composer
Born September 15, 1979 in Moca, Dominican Republic. As a youngster Henry was already a die-hard music fanatic. He moved with his family to New York at age 14 where he continued to develope his musical skills. He subsequently joined a band called Los Teenagers with his cousin Anthony. Henry is the group's comedian delighting the audience with spontaneous antics on stage. He is also a hard working business person with a myriad of creative projects on the burner. back to top
