Artistry

Themes, genres, and musical style

Romeo, along with Lenny, Henry, and Max are the creators of the urban style of Bachata. As Los Tinellers, they started off as a traditional bachata group. In the late 1990, they would re-invent themselves as Aventura and started to add a more Americanized style to the genre. They mixed bachata with American genres like R&B, Pop, Hip Hop, Rap, Reggae and Rock. In 2011, when Romeo became a solo artist, he created his own style of bachata to separate his own music from the style he did with the group. His style is a more romantic mix of Pop and Contemporary R&B.

Santos has cited Anthony Santos (left) and Juan Luis Guerra (right) as two of his influences, especially in bachata.

Romeo Santos was inspired by many exponents of music to compose his songs, artists he has admitted having influence of or admiring them includes Shakira, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Héctor Lavoe, Camilo Sesto, Rocío Dúrcal, Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, Juan Gabriel, José José, Manuel Alejandro, Julio Iglesias, Fania All-Stars and particularly within his genre are artists like Anthony Santos, Juan Luis Guerra, Luis Vargas, Raulín Rodríguez, and Frank Reyes.[37][38][39][40][41]

Romeo Santos started in music when he was a teen. At first, he wasn't concentrating on bachata until one day his father bought an Anthony Santos cassette. Romeo saw the cassette and noticed that the artist had the same name as him. He played the cassette and immediately fell in love with his music. Thus, inspiring him to become a bachata singer.[42][43]

Santos has been dubbed the "King of Modern Bachata". Romeo, along with the other members of Aventura, are considered the main reason why bachata is recognized worldwide and made it more appealing to younger audiences, with their 2002 single Obsesión launching their careers. The group is credited with creating urban bachata-inspired artists like Prince Royce and Leslie Grace, as well as groups like Xtreme, Bachata Heightz, 24 Horas, Optimo, among others.

In Santos' solo career, his success continued as he would collaborate with more mainstream artists and eventually feature some of them in bachata. His collaborations with Usher and Drake led to the songs Promise and Odio, both of them being certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Additionally, the song Propuesta Indecente is his best charted and most certified song of his solo career and career overall, as it was certified 51× Platinum, which also means it has been certified 2× Diamond.

His historic collaborations in Utopía brought unity into bachata and introduced to a bigger international audience the pioneers that made the genre what it is today. His fifth studio album, Formula, Vol. 3, has become a huge success with every song in the album being certified Platinum and gold. Overall, Santos is not only considered by many to be one of the greatest bachata artists of all time, but one of the greatest artists in Latin music history.
