Romeo, Romeo where for art thou Romeo? Well ladies, Romeo is right here, but his actual name is Anthony....But don't let that put you off ladies, he is a beautiful multi-talented specimen.
The young American-Latin tongued devil is still finding his music loved by millions globally leaving him to touring extensively year upon year. He has been producing work since 2006 but actually only has two albums out under his name. Technically 3 if you include his live album. Not many artists or bands can say they have live albums under their belt but Romeo is someone who can. His soft Latino voice is pitch perfect live and he is renowned for his live shows. Wowing crowds and making girls faint at his feet. His live album was even recorded at the notorious Madison Square Garden in 2012.
He has work alongside pop sensations including Usher, Nicki Minaj and even Kevin Hart. Plus he has appeared in 'Fast and Furious 7' which features Hollywood top dogs Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock and Mr Vin Diesel.
His latest album Formula volume 2 is the best selling Latin album of this year, undoubtedly. It looks like it will hold that title too, leaving Romeo proudly standing at the top of the Latin tree.
Born to Dominican parents, Rojas love for music was apparent from a young age as he took part in choirs and talent competitions. Turning his hand to writing poetry aged thirteen blossomed into the start of his song writing capabilities. With a few duo projects underway in his mid-teens, Rojas largely focussed on producing raggaeton material. However noticing the steady decline in the reggaeton genre, he made a conscious decision to experiment with the bachata genre, native to the Dominican Republic.
Signed to the label Top Stop, Prince Royce released his debut self-titled album in 2010 to great acclaim, topping the US Latin charts as it went double platinum. The album fused bachata, R&B and pop with an urban edge. The first single off the album was a cover of Ben E. King’s classic hit “Stand by Me” which also stormed the top of the US Tropical charts. The album earned Rojas a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Tropical Album. In 2011 he cleaned up at the Billboard Latin Music Awards taking home Tropical Airplay Solo Artist of the Year, Tropical Album of the Year and Tropical Albums Solo Artist of the Year.
In 2012 his second album “Phase II” was released with tracks in both English and Spanish delving into a range of genres including bachata and mariachi. The album went platinum and topped the US Latin chart, Prince Royce’s popularity only growing with every release. With the partnership with Top Stop dissolving, Rojas signed a record deal with Sony Music Latin in 2013 with whom he released his third album “Soy el Mismo” proving another chart success.
With an abundance of charisma and an endless supply of screaming teenage girls under Prince Royce’s spell ensures hysteria and sold out shows nationwide. Supporting the likes of Latin legends Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull has seen Rojas grow evermore in stature with breath-taking arena performances guaranteed to win your heart.
I love Bachata and I happened to be traveling in Buenos Aires, Argentina a few years back and saw a flyer for a Romeo Santos concert the following day! I already was supposed to be leaving B.A. to move on, but decided there was no way I could pass up a chance to see a show like this, especially in Argentina!
I just knew the show was going to be amazing, and probably the highlight of my trip and I hadn't even been yet. That's how excited I was. The next evening, I made my way to the arena with 2 friends I had made over the past couple of days in B.A., who wanted to see Romeo as well. We were overly excited and when we entered the arena, it was fantastic!
The Argentinian crowd was busting with joy and that Latin American vibe that I love so much! When Romeo and his band came out on stage, I thought the building was going to explode! They started the first song, and the happiness and joy of the crowd was palpable! It was something I had never experienced before, and also my first Latin American concert!
Romeo literally blew it away that night, he has such a fantastic stage presence, and is just damn fun to watch! We danced the night away, with each other, random strangers around us and had the best time! I could never really put into words just how much fun this Romeo Santos concert was, but trust me, if I ever get the chance again, I'm there!!!
I was lucky enough to be traveling in Nicaragua about a year ago and was in Granada when I saw a flyer that Prince Royce was playing in Managua the next evening!
Well considering the passion for that genre on music in Nicaragua, I knew this show would be insane! I got a few other people staying in the hostel to agree to come and the next day we made the trip to Managua! We arrived at the Stadium, and the Nica party was full on! Beer and Rum everywhere you looked, music blaring, and this was just the parking lot!
Once we made it inside, the Nica crowd was just fantastic! They are already such a friendly fun and happy people, and then to see them at a concert like this, well the energy was palpable!
Prince Royce came out on stage and the place literally exploded! After his first song, I was already so in the groove and dancing my heart out! I think I danced with everyone around me many times over! His presence on stage was fantastic and he is such a performer!
He could just smile at the crowd and they would go nuts! I was most impressed with just how well he sounded live! They were solid and the show was one of the better shows I've ever seen! I think the combination of being in Nicaragua and this genre of music together just made it such a special experience!!!
