Mario Blanco, the Co-Founder of VA Music Group, brings both his business acumen and energy to the company. Originally from Long Island, New York, he relocated to Virginia for work but fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Blanco's interest in music grew when he found U-Ready Entertainment for his son and upcoming artist, Rio. This led him to meet G Flowers and the two decided to create VA Music Group. Blanco's previous experience in studios allowed him to leverage his own construction company to build a studio for the group.
