Graphic designer by day, successful DJ and producer at night, Benny Blanco was born and raised in San Diego, California. A graduate from the Berklee College of Music in the early '90s, Blanco stayed in the Boston area after graduation, scoring numerous headlining gigs for both his DJ sets and his live PAs. He moved to New York City in 2003 and was soon featured at the city's esteemed club The Palladium. The versatile, genre-free Blanco has also released his own series of mix CDs with dub, synth pop, Detroit techno, and nu breaks all being featured. ~ David Jeffries
