Prince Royce who real name is Geoffrey Royce Rojas was born on May 11, 1989 (age 32 years) in The Bronx, a borough of New York City, New York, United States. He is the second oldest of four children, born to Dominican parents. His father, Ramón Rojas, drove a taxicab and his mother, Ángela de León, worked at a beauty salon. When he was young, Royce participated in choir in elementary school, competed in talent shows and, at the age of thirteen, began writing poetry, which turned into songwriting. Recalling his first time performing before a crowd, he said: “In elementary school, I was singing a Christmas song. I felt really comfortable on stage.”

Career

At age fifteen, Prince Royce had begun making music with a partner named José Chusán, better known as “Jino”. The duo was also known as “Jino and Royce, El Dúo Real”. At the age of sixteen, Royce adopted the stage name “Prince Royce” and started making music with longtime friend and record producer Donzell Rodríguez, and Vincent Outerbridge, known together as “L Snipe & Vinny”. The duo eventually had a meeting with Atlantic Records in early 2007. With the decline of reggaeton music in the Latin music industry at the time, Royce made the ultimate decision to focus on making bachata music.

Royce met producer Andrés Hidalgo at age nineteen, who after hearing his demos, instantly became his manager. Hidalgo began helping Royce work hands-on with bachata music. That was the turning point that helped Royce decide that he wanted to pursue a musical career. Hidalgo later introduced Royce to record producer Sergio George, who immediately signed Royce to his label, Top Stop Music, after listening to three of his demos.

Prince Royce album

Prince Royce released his eponymous debut studio album on March 2, 2010. The album was produced primarily by Hidalgo and Sergio George, with co-production duties by Royce. AllMusic’s Jason Birchmeier credited Hidalgo for the “crisp production job, which is often spare but adds touches of urban beats here and there.” Shortly after its release, the album debuted on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart at number fifteen.

The lead single from the album, “Stand by Me” (a cover of Ben E. King’s 1961 song) peaked at number-one on the US Billboard Tropical Songs chart, and also reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. The album’s second single, “Corazón Sin Cara”, was released in February 2010 and peaked at number-one on both the US Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Songs charts.

The album itself eventually reached number-one on the US Billboard Latin Albums chart and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In December 2010, Royce recorded a song with Sergio George called “El Campo de Los Sueños”, which was used as the theme song for the television program Domingo de Grandes Ligas on American TV sports network ESPN in its 2010 season.

The album earned Royce a nomination for Best Contemporary Tropical Album at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2011. At the awards ceremony, Royce performed “Stand by Me” alongside the song’s original performer Ben E. King. At the 2011 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, Royce won three awards in the Tropical genre, including Male Artist of the Year, New Soloist or Group of the Year, and Song of the Year for “Stand by Me”.
