Caleb Aviles (born July 28, 1979) is a former Puerto Rican singer.

Early Life

In 1991, Caleb, who was 12 at the time, joined the spinoff Menudo Boy Band, Euphoria, made by ex members Robert Avellanet and Rawy Torres. Caleb only sang in one song called "Tu Y Yo", before leaving the band in 1992 and moved to the United States, specifcally in Wisconsin, where he performed in plays and musicals and worked in other fields, becoming a bartender and a cook among other things. These jobs would support him financially as he stayed in the country for many years.

In 1994, Caleb became part of the Puerto Rican teen group Explosion. While in Explosion, he recorded the title track of their first CD "Que No Se Detenga"[1] on McGillis Records, but the group was shortly disbanded afterwards. Caleb would eventually go to private life for Seven years.

MDO and Menudo Reunion

In 2001, Avilés joined boy band MDO when Troy Tuminelli departed from the group, becoming the first Puerto Rican in four years (After Andy Blazquez) to join the formerly all-Puerto Rican band. His bandmates at the time were Alexis Grullón, Abel Talamantez, Didier Hernandez and Pablo Portillo. Caleb began to have contractual problems with his previous group and was forced to temporarily remove himself from MDO before he returned to the group.

MDO released their first major English album entitled "Piece of Heaven" in Asia in June 2001. This album was to be due out in the United States at a later date, but it never came to be and MDO began working on a new album. Unfortunately, before the CD was complete, Caleb decided to leave the group to pursue other musical interests.

In 2005, Caleb joined the project, Menudo: La Reunion, where he replace And Blazquez and performed along with ex menudo members, Roy Rosselló, Raymond Acevedo, Rubén Gómez, and Anthony Galindo. The group disbanded in late 2005 or early 2006. ^[1].

Later Life

After the Project, Aviles went back to private life and has quit show business since then.
