JOHNNY MARINES
MANAGER OF ROMEO SANTOS, ENTREPRENEUR, PUBLIC SPEAKER & PHILANTHROPIST
Johnny Marines, Manager of Romeo Santos, Entrepreneur, Public Speaker and Philanthropist
Johnny Marines a native New Yorker from the Lower East Side, has been a monumental force in the meteoric rise to
stardom for the Latin American group Aventura and more recently, International Latin Superstar, Romeo Santos, who
brought Johnny on board to continue being his manager.
In February 2014, Romeo released his second solo album, Formula Vol. 2, which is already four times platinum and has
won 5 Premio Juventud Awards. The first leg of his Formula Vol. 2 World Tour was sold out, including two historic nights at
Yankee Stadium, making him the first Latin artist to ever headline and sell out a show at the world's most prestigious
ballpark. The success of Marines' work ethic can be measured by the Romeo Santos' rapid growth, which continues to
extend into new markets today, far from his humble South Bronx roots.
Before entering the music business, Johnny was an NYPD sergeant. During his tenure as a police officer, which included
the height of the crack epidemic in the 90s, Johnny made and assisted in more than 1,000 arrests. Throughout his career,
Marines was awarded 12 Excellent Police Duty medals as well as 4 Meritorious Police Duty medals for 4 separate Bribery
arrests.
Despite all of his success, Johnny Marines has not forgotten his humble roots he came from. Johnny has dedicated a large
portion of his time, effort and resources to giving back to his community. In conjunction with Aventura, Marines has cofunded toy drives in New York and the Dominican Republic; he has donated turkeys for hundreds of needy families during
the holidays; several times a year, Johnny and his mother ship barrels of food to the Dominican Republic and school
supplies to low income families to provide them with the tools they need to focus and acquire a quality education; and he
has helped coordinate Aventura’s hospital visits to sick children throughout the Metropolitan Area. Also, Johnny has
helped to fund and to create a non-profit, Lower East Side Sports Academy, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan which
recently partnered with the NYC Police Athletic League and has over 300 young people participating in its third season this
summer. Johnny is in the process of establishing the Johnny Marines Blessings Foundation, which is established to foster,
support, and fund educational advancement initiatives within New York City.
More recently, Johnny has begun sharing his story. Johnny communicates how he came to be the manager of the most
influential Latin American group and now solo artist of our generation. Johnny speaks sincerely of his struggles and
mistakes not only growing up in the Lower East
Side, but also of the impediments he has had to overcome once in the music industry. Marines lectures on the importance
of diligence and always putting your best work forward, and relays his messages in ways that people from all walks of life
can relate. Johnny’s story is a true testament to the American Dream, that with hard work, dedication and motivation,
anything truly is possible. Johnny has spoken on numerous occasions at Harvard, Columbia, Syracuse, Lehman College, and
St. John’s University.
