Around the time he was ten years old, Fonsi began to dream about becoming a member of Menudo, a Latin American boy band. While not being able to pursue that dream, he did, however, join many local boy bands, including one, Big Guys, where he met and befriended future *NSYNC member Joey Fatone.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995, Fonsi enrolled at Florida State University to study music. He also joined the school&#8217;s choir and sang with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2005, Fonsi had a brief return to the singing stage, when former Menudo member Ray Reyes invited him and another Puerto Rican, Adamari L\u00f3pez, to a concert which was held at San Juan&#8217;s Roberto Clemente coliseum. The press widely covered what El Vocero titled as Fonsi&#8217;s moment as a Menudo, when he took the stage and joined the members of El Reencuentro to sing some of their old hits.<\/p>\n<p>His stage name Fonsi is actually a nickname that is derived from his middle name Alfonso (alFONSo).
