Romeo Santos

English is my first language, but musically speaking, I write my music in Spanish.

I want to touch people's lives with my music and my lyrics.

I don't know if I believe in marriage - I believe in love.

I think marriage works for some people, but I just don't think it could work for me. I don't see it.

I wanted to show people I'm like a modern Romeo. I'm romantic, but I can also be seductive. I can be cool and charismatic, swagger-type.

My dad is Dominican, my mother's Puerto Rican, and I got into bachata at the age of 10 or 11. When I started listening, it had a reputation for being music for hick people. I thought that had to be changed. I was born and raised in the Bronx, and I knew you make something cool if you're cool.
