Jorge Blanco

It’s time to meet Jorge Blanco. After all, the rest of the world already has. And based on his countless loyal fans worldwide, who never missed Jorge on television or who came to see him perform live across Europe and Latin America, it’s clear the Mexican-born singer is one of the great talents of his generation. With the release of Jorge’s debut Hollywood Records single, “Summer Soul,” it’s now America’s turn to swoon. At 25, he may be young, but with “Summer Soul,” Jorge proves he is steeped in the great pop tradition of summer pop tunes.

Last year, Jorge moved to Los Angeles, setting up shop in the studio to write and record music for his debut Hollywood album. His goal was to zero in on songs that best represented his musical identity. Jorge made the move to L.A. after three years in Argentina, where he starring in the worldwide hit series from Disney Latin America, “Violetta.” The show was dubbed into several languages and broadcast around the world for three seasons. It not only brought Jorge fame as an actor, but it also gave him a chance to show off his skills as a singer, an ability that routinely had him performing in arenas on “Violetta” tours with his co-star, Martina Stoessel. He played over 350 sold-out concerts, including a European tour that sold more tickets than One Direction.

Considering how admittedly shy Jorge was growing up, it’s startling to picture him so comfortable in front of thousands of fans these days. That’s how far the kid from Guadalajara has come since he first discovered a passion for music. It was his musician aunt who first put a guitar in the hands of then-5-year-old Jorge and gave him his first lessons. After appearing in talent shows and local competitions, the door opened to auditioning and winning at age 15 a starring role in the 2007 Mexican reality-show Disney Channel hit, “High School Musical: La Seleccion.”

Landing the role of Leon on the Disney Channel Latin America telenovela “Violetta” took Jorge to the pinnacle of fame throughout the Spanish-speaking world and beyond. Premiering in 2012, it featured a multinational cast to tell the story of a female singer who returns to her hometown to find love. The show aired across Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, making Jorge a global star. His time in Argentina not only seasoned him as an actor and singer, it matured him in every other way.

He’s been spreading his wings, as well. His killer version of the Beatles’ classic “Baby You Can Drive My Car,” from the “Cars 3” soundtrack will be out this summer, even as his readies his debut EP for the fall. At 25, Jorge Blanco is excited to get “Summer Soul” out to lay the groundwork for breakout success in America.
