Max “Mikey” Allende Santos, the band’s bass player, was born in 1982 in the South Bronx.  He started playing at 12 years of age, borrowing a bass at school.  At home he collaborated with his brother Lenny experimenting with rhythms in duo, bass and guitar.  Max was always a rock lover and thus brings elements of rock into Aventura’s sound.  Max is also an excellent rap artist 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.”  Anthony and Lenny are preparing a solo hip hop project for Mikey.
