Prince Royce

He is a gamer! Royce always makes sure he has video games on deck while he’s on tour. "Call of Duty and Destiny are my top two. I even have a man cave where I just surround myself with my laptop, Xbox, and other gaming systems. If I wasn't a singer, I'd want to be a video game tester — one of those dudes who just plays for 12-14 hours straight and only takes food and bathroom breaks,” he explained to ‘Popsugar’ Photo: Getty Images

He imitated Wisin & Yandel in his first ever TV appearance on ‘Sábado Gigante’. “I was, like, 16. It’s crazy how I went from imitating them on ‘Sábado Gigante’ to recording with them and being friends with them, doing a music video with them. It’s a very powerful message for the fans that anything really is possible.” Photo: Brian Friedman for iHeartRadio

Luis Fonsi
