The name Prince Royce comes from after he looked up what Royce meant because he thought just Royce won't pull his fans. He saw that Royce meant king's son or prince, so he found out it was a royalty name. Which created his stage name. He said it's just a name and it won't change how he would act around everyone. He wants to stay humble he said. He always loved many different types of music and one of his favorite songs is "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King which is the reason why he reinvented the classic song. He said it was a little diffuclt making it into a bachata style because you have to write the lyrics first then the music. It's not just for "Stand By Me" it's for every bachata style song. The reason why he chose to sing in the bachata region was because it is a Domincan style of music and he is Domincan so he thought it'll be special because he grew up listening to bachata. hes also a type a person to be very sweet to his fans and not stuck up like daddy yankee.
