According to Romeo, the group was 'on pause to do individual projects'. In 2009, Aventura was invited to perform for the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama at the White House. Aventura released five studio albums in a decade, spawning many top 10 hits like internationally famous 'Obsesión', 'Cuando Volverás', 'Un Beso', :Amor de Madre', 'Los Infieles', 'El Perdedor', 'Por Un Segundo', 'Dile Al Amor', and many others. In 2002, the song, ' Obsesión' achieved huge success in many countries, topping many international charts in France, Germany and Italy. Aventura was formed in 1996 by Anthony 'Romeo' Santos, his cousin Henry Santos 'Hustle Hard', and friends Lenny Santos 'Len Melody', and Max Santos 'Mikey a.k.a Max Agende'.Īventura released their debut album in 1999 with the hopes of breaking bachata music into the mainstream from its traditional base and fuse it with hip hop and R&B. Romeo was the lead singer, songwriter and co-producer of Aventura. Romeo was exposed to Latin genres of music at a young age due to his parents. Santos began his career by singing in a church choir at a young age. He had a humble upbringing, with his father working in construction and his mother staying at home to take care of the family. Santos was born in 1981 in the Bronx, New York City to a Dominican father and a Puerto Rican mother. Over his career, he sold over 40 million albums and over 100 million singles. Since then, Santos has embarked on a solo career which has spawned seven number one songs on the Hot Latin Songs chart and sixteen number ones on the Tropical Songs chart. He released several albums with Aventura before the group broke up. In 2002, the song ' Obsesión' reached number one in Italy for 16 consecutive weeks.

Anthony ' Romeo' Santos (born July 21, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, best known as the lead member and vocalist of the bachata group Aventura.
