Steve Styles de el Grupo XTREME, Lenny Santos y Max Agende de el grupo AVENTURA se juntan para formar el super grupo “VENA” D’Element Project.
I was going to wait for the official announcement I really was, I apologize but when I looked at twitter the buzz that had been slowly brewing seem to just pop yesterday, if I wait any longer we wouldn’t be where people come to check out the news!
So here it is, the official announcement coming ASAP from the group itself but it’s a done deal, prepare yourselves this mega group is coming,
GRUPO VENA: D’Element Project is here.
With a lot on their plate already as the group D’Element and respective solo projects (Mike “Agende” Santos has MaxMusick vol 1. on the works, and Lenny Santos is involved in various producing projects) the news came to me as a shock to hear that the team was also embarking on an extension of their D’element formation with what they are calling VENA.
VENA - D'Element (Max Agende, Steve Styles, Lenny Santos)
VENA, is the Spanish word for Vein, and I’m guessing this can have to do with two connotations:
either in reference to the fact that they are all Dominican, hence family, hence same blood flows through their veins, or that the same music runs through their veins since Xtreme as a group and Aventura as a group both do Urban Bachata.
Now let it be clear, Danny D from the group Xtreme is not part of this VENA ensemble.
Steve Styles was born Steven Tejada (November 25, 1985) and like the members of Aventura grew up in the Bronx. In 2003 the group Xtreme was formed where Steven is the lead singer, they also starred in the show “On the Verge” a reality show premiered on Spanish cable network Mun2 On May 7, 2009, that featured the duo Xtreme dealing with the fame while trying to handle their regular life. The show had the highest rated premiere in 2009 for Mun2
I sometimes like to put myself as A&R, when I first heard of D’Element my original thought was “If they are going to have a female and a male accompany Max and Lenny, why not just use Carlos y Alejandra?”, however then i realized the point of this time apart was not to form another Aventura but to explore new avenues, and let me be honest I had no clue they were going to make this much of a genius move, Steve Styles? Pardon my French but MutherFucking Bravo.
I honestly can’t think of anything musically that I am waiting for more, than to hear the music of Vena: D’Element Project.
Check out their single Señora and some of the music Mike Santos, and Steve have put out outside the group.

first of all lets be clear,grupo Xtreme was formed few yrs before 2003 with many members. Steven joined in 2003 with elvis and Danny D (lead Singer)then the group lost Elvis and went down to just Steve and Danny D( lead singer). Oh yea did I mention that Danny D is the lead singer of Xtreme and was never Steve. Steven might have stepped up his game in the album haciendo historia but please lets not elevate him to something his not. Sad to see Steven and Danny D go diff ways because together they were special. Now, Lenny and Max…you guys can from greatness. everyone is always gonna compare Aventura to Vena and realize that you guys only shine in Aventura. I mean i know yall love making music and need to move on and get that paper but sorry to say Steve is not gonna get you there…good luck though…

David tell me where this information is from so I can correct it if i have it wrong but I was unable to located that online.
As far as Danny D being the lead singer, as I stated on the actual biography of Xtreme (http://www.thatsdominican.com/dr/our-people/xtreme) as far as I’m concerned they both shared the singing parts of the songs, however, Steve styles was in fact listed as Lead singer of Xtreme.
Further to touch on your third point about them being compared to Aventura, I recpect your opinion, but that’s all it is. Steve styles brings a different vibe to the group that should take them away from that, however… They are Aventura STILL (LEnny and Max) and don’t shy away from that, I’m supposed to interview them this weekend, I’ll ask them how they feel about this.

Its simple math, VENA is going to be hott. Maybe not right off their first project but through the right promotion team they will get there. Maybe not as hott as AVENTURA but none the less they all will get money. Especially Lenny and Max since it was their Idea. They know the ropes behind making great music and know what kind mainstream music(latino) America likes. Truth is VENA will always be compared to AVENTURA….ALWAYS! Although VENA will be a good group. Steve styles has “gotten” better since the “XTREME DAYS” his songs have more of that mainstream bachata that AVENTURA HAD.
