A biography for Romeo Santoshasn’t been written yet.
“I want to try different things but, most importantly, always be true to my roots and keep it organic. I'm never going to leave bachata behind. I'm always going to be a bachatero first.”
“I'm not taking for granted being managed by Roc Nation. They have a lot of relations, and they have a reach that I clearly could benefit from.”
“Growing up, I was always trying to catch a great show. And that's where I learned an artist gets respect. That's what makes people talk.”
“I would always talk with my friends in English and Spanglish, but it was more like slang. It was more like, 'Yo, what's up, dog?' But in Spanish, I know what's proper, and what's ghetto. I know the difference.”
“I like a girl that keeps me in love and keeps me entertained.”
“I want to touch people's lives with my music and my lyrics.”
“I believe that if each one of us have successful solo careers, it can only help the group's growth. It will allow the fans to see individual talent and make them appreciate us more. After all, we are in this for the long run and have every intention of returning with another album as Aventura.”
“You see a lot of talented people, but you usually don't see talented people who, behind the scenes, know how to conduct themselves on a higher level.”
“I was extremely shy. I am still shy, but I won't show it on stage.”
“I know what it is to be out entertaining millions and yet wanting to be home because you miss your loved ones.”
“I'm very private, not the interview type.”
“For me, it's always an organic process. I don't personally reach out to artists without the music being created first.”
“I wanted to show people I'm like a modern Romeo. I'm romantic, but I can also be seductive. I can be cool and charismatic, swagger-type.”
“I have nothing against crossing over, but I don't need to change to cross over.”
“I come from the Bronx, so I was exposed to every type of music you can think of.”
“Usher is so innovative - he's a great performer, a great entertainer.”
“I don't tweet very much. I still believe in the mystery of an artist. I believe in going out when I'm ready to sell my product. A lot of artists are out there every day. But I remember the Julio Iglesiases, the Jose Joses - and it was about the music.”
“I think that every song has to be like it could be the biggest hit of my album.”
“When you have Julio Iglesias on a song, I think that's golden.”
“I'm a huge salsa fan. I actually have a salsa on my album, 'Formula Vol. 2,' featuring Marc Anthony.”
