For those of you who are familiar with Romeo Santos, you probably recognize him as the lead singer of Aventura, the Latin Bachata group.  Aventura topped Latin charts and charts in Europe for many years, but never really gained a lot of popularity in the United States even while they sang in English and Spanish.  Now, Romeo Santos has stepped out on his own to create a solo album which will be released this month on November 8th.

The album, titled Formula has already released to hit singles on the Hot Latin Songs chart and the Tropical Songs chart.  His first single, “You” was released in May, and the second single is helping Santos to reach new fans as Usher is featured on the track, “Promise.”  To get to this point, Santos has had quite a ride.  Let’s take a quick look at some facts about the singer Romeo Santos, and I’ll include his new single “Promise” too.

• Santos is from Dominican and Puerto Rican decent.  His father is from the  Dominican Republic and his mother from Puerto Rico.
• His birthday is July 21, 1981.
• Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Santos began singing in his church choir at 12 years old.
• It has been mentioned that in order to relax Santos prefers using incense like white rabbit incense.  This is said to calm him and even inspire when he is writing music.
• Not only is Santos a singer, but he is also a composer, and he was the former lead singer of Aventura.  His group was responsible for helping to make Bachata music and dance more popular.

The single “Promise” is beautiful with both the Spanish and English intertwined through the song. Hopefully Romeo will find great success with his new album!
