Omar Blanco | Owner & DJ
Hi! My name is Omar Blanco Valentin, known as DJ BLANCO. I'm a Wisconsin DJ and entrepreneur focusing on marketing, music business, and live music production. I love to plan the perfect moments and help people celebrate their special occasions. I was raised in Iowa, but in November 2021, my wife and I moved to Wisconsin. In 2022, we re-homed a two-month pitbull mix, Penny. She loves to play fetch and meet new people!
At age 13, I started DJ Thriller-Musical Genius (now known as Musical Genius Productions); I also started mixing sounds for local bands and venues. Then in 2018, I became an audio and lighting technician for M&D Sound and began working with Premier Global Productions, a national staging company.
I love to create exceptional entertainment such as Summerfoam Live – the Nation's Hottest Foam Party, and Musical Genius Productions – Wisconsin’s best wedding DJ.
Education
I graduated Hampton-Dumont High School in 2014. Then in 2021, I enrolled at NIACC to pursue a degree in Marketing and graduated in May 2022.
Awards
I'm the proud recipient of the 2014 Iowa DAR Good Citizen and Iowa Bar Association American Citizenship awards. Music awards include the John Philip Sousa and Iowa Choral Directors Association awards.
Likes/Interests
I love attending concerts and sightseeing. My first concert was Luke Bryan in 2014! I am a percussionist and Bass 1 vocal singer. I enjoy traveling, taking photos, listening to music, watching movies, working out, helping others, and cuddling with my puppy!

WhaT I Love About DJing
As a local Wisconsin DJ, it's not all business for me. I truly enjoy seeing a crowd dancing all night and having a good time. Weddings, high school proms and homecomings, and quinceañeras are a time to create memories. I love when guests say how much fun they had or how much they danced and laughed. I've been privileged with the opportunity to provide entertainment for Wisconsin parties and events since 2009. Seeing a couple dance their first dance or a quinceañera dance with their father is truly special. In addition, hyping the crowd while putting on a show with spectacular sound quality and stunning lighting never gets old! Contact me to learn more about my DJ service!
