In a recent chat with InStyle published on Wednesday, June 4, the music producer looked back at his early days of career as a DJ in New York City.
Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, revealed that he used to spend night at unconventional places after his gigs.
Going to college was never in his plans, driven by his passion for music, Blanco used to skip high school to play at dance parties in Brooklyn
At the beginning he did not even own a laptop as for gigs he and his frinds carried big monitors from one place to another.
He shared that after their show he and his friends "would sleep in the train station, a park, or even the McDonald’s in Times Square."
Blanco admitted that his parents were not aware of his unsafe overnight spots.
"Are you kidding me? My mom would have lost her mind if she knew I was sleeping on a park bench!" he told the outlet.
