FITO BLANKO BIO
Urban-Latino artist - Fito Blanko - has been making waves in Canada, the U.S, Europe, Japan, South and Central America. Armed with talent, business savvy, charismatic personality, Fito Blanko is quickly making a name for himself in the exploding Urban Latino scene. Fito grew up adorned by Latin music. By the age of 14, Fito was already writing his own lyrics in both English and Spanish. He developed a natural raw method of flowing with a Latino attitude, creating a signature sound, image, after years of hard work of writing and performing. After the success of his first album "Higher Level" in Canada, US, and Latin America, this opened flood gates to many opportunities to showcase his talent internationally. That same summer, two of Fito's tracks had been serviced to Canadian and American DJ Pools and Ninety (90) percent of the DJs added these tracks to their play lists causing them both to chart in the Top 25 of their Hip-Hop/Reggae Chart in the summer of 2005. During this time Fito was booked for an appearance on one of the most popular shows in the U.S and Latin America: The Roof (Mun2 - with an audience of over 25 million people). He not only was booked again but was offered a deal to be a VJ for one of the shows. Fito Blanko had made him self known to Latin music insiders and began planning the release of his debut album produced by Sensei. Following the release of his album, "Higher Level" on July 27, 2004, Fito became a Latin-Canadian luminary. His first single "Me Voy a Marchar" was added to the U.S.s Hit TV show soundtrack Jamz Volume 3 Compilation and the video for "Me Voy a Marchar" made heavy rotation on MUN2, Telemundo, MTV Latino and HTV. Fito's second single; "By My Side" grounded him in the Canadian mainstream music market. "By My Side" hit 1 on Toronto's hit music station Z103.5, was placed on Canada's Reggae 2005 compilation selling over 50,000 units across Canada, and was also picked up for Japan's ..1 reggae compilation Street vibe 2005 selling over 35,000 units. During the summer of 2005, By My Side was 1 in many of the the Canadian DJ POOLs. "By My Side" was the first single by a Latin Artist to chart in all Major Record Pools in Canada making it a top 40 hit. The video for "By My Side" also hit heavy rotation on Much Music, MTV 2, Much Vibe, Worldbeat, HTV, Mun2, and was part of the July Urban video loop for Footlocker & Athletes World. This Media attention landed Fito an interview on the Much More Music's Hit Show Clip Trip and the opportunity to close the biggest televised Latin event in Canada TLNs Latin FEST in July 2005. Since then Fito has appeared in such print media as Urban Latino Magazine (NYC), People Magazine (en Espaol) April 2005, Billboard magazine (U.S) Sept 24th issue 2005, and countless other National and International magazines and newspapers. Fito has also had a marketing campaign through ICOKE.CA which was a chance to win a day with Fito in a recording session along side music producer Sensei, (All Inclusive, Flight Travel, Dinner with Fito, and Cash money). It turned out to be a success with 50,000 entries across Canada entered for a chance to win. In the past year Fito has been keeping busy performing in places such as Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Orlando, Miami, New York, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago. Fito Blanko's appeal goes beyond a niche of Reggaeton enthusiasts, to attracting a mainstream pop/dance audience. This is only the beginning for this rising bilingual Latin Star. His love for music is apparent to all who know him and his strive for excellence has been the key to his success. With the help of those who have been with him along the way, this young talent is bound to succeed. Fito Blanko is a new face and with a new sound musically produced by Sensei is currently hitting hard in North America and soon Worldwide.
