Bio:
Growing up in the Bronx, with Dominican roots running deep through his family's stories and the merengue spilling from apartment windows, Prince Royce found his way to bachata early—like it was the soundtrack to those humid summer nights when kids dream bigger than their block. Born Geoffrey to a cab driver dad and a salon mom, he was scribbling poems by 13, turning heartbreak into hooks that mixed the island's rhythm with New York's grit. His self-titled debut in 2010 exploded that blend, flipping "Stand By Me" into a bachata confession that topped Latin charts and made him the youngest to snag a Billboard Latin Album of the Year. Songs like "Corazón Sin Cara" wrapped vulnerability in smooth guitars, reminding us love's ache hits universal, no matter the language.

Over the years, he's layered in pop edges and R&B soul, dropping hits with Shakira, J.Lo, and Bad Bunny that bridge worlds, earning 25 Billboard nods and a "Prince Royce Day" proclamation from NYC back in 2018. At 36 now, he's still that voice for the diaspora—proud, tender, unapologetic—pouring the push of immigrant hustle into every falsetto. His music feels like a warm hand on your shoulder during those quiet doubts, turning personal fire into anthems that dance through the chaos. If you're chasing that spark of belonging, start here; it might just pull you back to your own roots.
