The powerful pop vocalist of Puerto Rican descent, Blanca, was born in New York City and at a young age, moved to Florida, where she lives today. The Premios Arpa award recipient’s self-titled, debut solo album, following a successful Dove Award-winning run with Group 1 Crew, garnered two No. 1 radio singles, “Who I Am” and “Not Backing Down (feat. Tedashii),” the latter of which was featured on ESPN. Shattered, Blanca’s second album and a project that is very personal to her, added three back-to-back No. 1 radio singles (“Real Love,” “What If” and “Remind Me”) to her story, along with 104 million streams and more than 39 million views on YouTube. She received her first-ever Tecla Award nomination in October of 2019, in the category of Best Musician Creating Social Content. Blanca’s recent radio single, “Even At My Worst,” became her sixth No. 1 radio single. Also, “The Healing (feat. Dante Bowe)” was a resounding success that allowed both of them to perform at the 2022 K-Love Fan Awards, where Blanca was nominated for Female Artist of the Year. Her new solo project, The Heartbreak and The Healing, is available everywhere now. In 2019, she was part of the main cast of the Bogotá Gospel event, sharing the stage with artists such as Alex Zurdo, Danilo Montero, and others. Cultivating her Latin roots, in 2020 she announced her second EP in Spanish titled Renovada, handling singles mostly in Spanish and collaborations with Christine D'Clario, Gawvi, "Papi Song" with Genio, in honor of her father Toñito Reyes. Blanca has a lot to say on her new album, The Heartbreak & The Healing. She uses a diverse fusion of pop, Latin, Hip-Hop, and Gospel to share her heart about her recent divorce. This full-length album is loaded with positive grace-filled messages of hope that address the pressures of life. Blanca understands that her identity only comes from her relationship with God. The album offers two sides of the same story—the hurt and the redemption. Blanca has released a string of hit songs, "Who I Am," "Real Love" and “Shattered.” CONNECT WITH BLANCA Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/officialblanca Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/officialblanca Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@officialblanca CONNECT WITH MUSIC CITY ACOUSTICS For a special deal, make sure you mention “THE CHIZPOD” when you place your first order.
