\nBlanco made history upon the release of this album by becoming the first American tenor to record a multi-genre record. Blanco chose to highlight his Colombian heritage by recording the album in Spanish. The multi-genre style ranges from salsa to vallenato, reflecting the worldly travels he experienced throughout his upbringing. A true artist, Blanco finds inspiration in everything around him, including the name for his album. \u201cMateo Blanco 724\u201d was inspired by the time he finished recording the last song.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose behind my album is to inspire people to follow their dreams, believe in love and to spread positivity,\u201d said Blanco. \u201cMusic is a vehicle for emotions, so it was important for me to have fellow dreamers collaborate on the record. I personally interviewed every musician who worked on my album to ensure they not only have a happy personality, but true goodness in their soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
