Bachata singer Prince Royce has been crowned artist of the year.
At the 2014 Premio Lo Nuestro a la Musica Latina Thursday night, the “Te Robaré” singer received one of the most prestigious awards of the night, the Artist of the Year award.
The 24-year-old singer beat some of the biggest names in music such as Alejandro Sanz, Don Omar, Calibre 50 and Maná for the award.
Pero, eso no fue todo.
Besides winning Artist of the Year, Prince Royce was also among the night’s top winners with a total of three awards including Artista Masculino Del Año and Tropical Contemporaneo-Artista Del Año.
Also among the night’s top winners were the late Jenni River and Mexican singer and songwriter Gerardo Ortiz, who also won three awards each.
Sin embargo, the winner of the winners was salsa singer Marc Anthony who not only took home three awards for Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Artist of the Year in the Tropical category, but also received an Excellence Award.
Anthony was given el Premio a la Excelencia, the greatest honor given, por su trayectoria en la música Latina.
The awards show, which was hosted by Ninel Conde and William Levy, focused heavily on the tragic situation Venezuela is currently facing.
At the beginning of the show, both hosts as viewers and those in attendance inside the American Airline Arena in Miami to take a moment to pray for the community in Venezuela.
After that, as many artists took the stage to present or receive an award, they also took time to express their thoughts and lend their support to the people of Venezuela.
One of the most touching moments of the night was when Venezuelan pop duo Chino and Nacho won the award for Best Group or Duo of the Year.
They both got up on stage, tristes and holding their country’s flag.
“Long live a Venezuela free of violence,” they said as they ended their acceptance speech.
¡Felicides a todos los winners!
