Max Santos

Max Agende Santos (born January 30, 1982 in the South Bronx, New York City) was the bass player of the bachata group Aventura.

He began playing bass at age 12, after borrowing an instrument at school. He and his brother Lenny, now a fellow member of Aventura, often experimented together at home in duo, bass, and guitar. Max loves rock music and brings a touch of this genre to Aventura’s sound.

Max also raps and is featured on the album Love & Hate on a track entitled “Don’t Waste My Time” and with Nina Sky on the God’s Project track “You’re Lying”. Max and Lenny are preparing a solo hip hop project for Max, and hope to arrange for its release. They have have formed a bachata group called D'Element. As D'Element, they have released one song called “You & Me”. Though, shortly after, they joined Steve Styles, from the Bachata group Xtreme, to form Vena releasing a new single entitled “Ya No” in 2012, which became a hit on Latin radio.
