Aventura mini-bio: Aventura is one of the most unique artists on the scene today. After well over a decade of sparring in the music business, these four young, dynamic guys with a seldom-seen chemistry continue to auto-produce soulful, original music that gleams with excellence. Their nouveau sound fuses bachata (a guitar-based Dominican folkloric music sometimes called the “Dominican blues”) with R & B, hip hop and other American pop and urban styles. Lead singer and songwriter Anthony “Romeo” Santos’ original songs are often deep, dealing with social issues. Even when they tackle timeless themes, such as romance and heartbreak, Romeo’s approach always comes from a different angle.
The members of Aventura are Romeo (lead singer and featured composer), Lenny Santos (musical producer and guitarist), Max “Mikey” Santos (bassist and rap artist) and Henry Santos Jeter (singer and composer).
Romeo, lead singer and featured composer, was born on July 21st, 1981 in the Bronx, New York to a Puerto Rican mother and a Dominican father. At twelve years of age Romeo 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.  Lenny Santos is the group’s guitarist and musical producer/arranger. Born in the Bronx, New York on October 24th, 1979 Lenny fell in love with music at age 15. Like most kids his age, his music of 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. 
Max “Mikey” Agende Santos, the band’s bass player, was born in 1982 in the South Bronx. He started playing at 12 years of age, borrowing a bass at school. At home he collaborated with his brother Lenny experimenting with rhythms in duo, bass and guitar. Max was always a rock lover and thus brings elements of rock into Aventura’s sound.
Henry Santos Jeter, singer and composer, was born on September 15, 1979 in Moca, Dominican Republic. As a youngster Henry was already a diehard music fanatic. He moved with his family to New York at age 14, where he continued to develop his musical skills. He subsequently joined a band called Los Teenagers with his cousin Anthony, a group which later morphed into Aventura. 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 front burner, including an excellent bachata group, The Hustleheartz aka Los Robacorazones.
