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 was born and raised in the Bronx, and growing up here, you would go down the block, and on one corner you would hear bachata, on another corner some salsa, and of course there was hip-hop and R&B all over the place. So for me, it is very organic to have these combinations.

Many artists would want a major label. But, if someone made you big, it doesn't mean they're no longer good enough when you get big. If you want to add, add. But don't get rid of your original team.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I was extremely shy. I am still shy, but I won't show it on stage.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I've learned that you can do something great, but you have to continue reinventing yourself as an artist. So by the time someone else is copying your style, you have something else to offer your audience.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I will drink alcohol socially. That's really on the weekends.

My mother at a young age put me in bilingual, so my strength is really more in Spanish. Even though I live and I was born and raised in the States, you know, in the Bronx, in Spanish I get my point across. And when I'm writing music, when I'm doing music, it's easier for me, and I know exactly how to express myself.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I don't like planning what am I gonna say to the crowd. Sometimes the show takes a whole different twist.

I think marriage works for some people, but I just don't think it could work for me. I don't see it.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
This Romeo character is something I decided to create, like my alter ego. So the name Romeo was invented from the original Romeo and Juliet. I wanted to show people I'm like a modern Romeo.

I started singing one day along with my cousin, and I didn't take it too seriously. The people started telling me, 'Hey, you have a nice voice.' and I was like, 'Really?'
Anthony Santos Aventura -
You can have the best product, but if you don't have a plan - a label pushing it, the support of a network - you can't make it big with a product. It's all about distribution.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
Boxing is a really difficult sport! So I don't want to tell you I wouldn't try it, but I guess everybody that does know about it, my friends, they tell me how difficult it is, and I'm like, 'Eh.'
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I love performing in New York. Just something about the energy that the crowd gives you, you give it back, a lot of interaction.

I'm a huge salsa fan. I actually have a salsa on my album, 'Formula Vol. 2,' featuring Marc Anthony.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I go on stage for hours, and I like to give it my all.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
For me, it's always an organic process. I don't personally reach out to artists without the music being created first.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I always had this fascination with superheroes. Who didn't love Hulk and Spider-Man?
Anthony Santos Aventura -
When you have Julio Iglesias on a song, I think that's golden.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
You could be the most beautiful girl, but if you're stuck up, that doesn't do it for me.

I grew up in a neighborhood that had a lot of things to offer, good and bad.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
If you think of any strange fusion with bachata, most likely, we've done it. It's bachata mixed with different elements. We don't follow any style.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I'm always onstage, and everyone there already loves me, so I go with this certain confidence.
Anthony Santos Aventura -
I really just compete against myself. I look at my previous material and try to surpass what I've done.
