Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with G. Blanco

We recently had the chance to connect with G. Blanco and have shared our conversation below.

G., really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
I think a lot of people are secretly struggling with asking for help us especially artists. We’re expected to always look like we’re grinding, winning, and unshakable, but behind the scenes we might be battling doubt, burnout, or even depression.
In life too, pride keeps people quiet. We’d rather suffer in silence than admit we’re tired, scared, or need somebody to lean on. And the crazy thing is, the help we won’t ask for could be the very thing that saves us.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is G. Blanco an artist, creator, and storyteller straight out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Music’s been a part of me for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I’ve built a lane that’s completely my own. I don’t just make songs, I make experiences. My latest project, Yellow Roses all produced by Sparks the Trackman dropped April 4th, and recently, three of my records were featured in the premiere of Joseline’s Cabaret on Zeus Network, August 3rd. That’s a big moment for me and for my city.

But my creativity goes beyond music. I run a nonprofit, Project 429, inspired by my own journey as a survivor of domestic violence. We help men and women rebuild with makeovers, therapy, and activities that restore confidence. I know that pain, so I built something to turn it into healing.

I’m also writing a movie I won’t say too much yet, because I believe in protecting the process and I’ve got an e-book on Amazon, Finesse My Heart, which tells a real piece of my story and includes self-help questions for anyone navigating love and lessons.

I’m a Taurus so yes, I juggle a million things at once, but that’s because I’m a true creator at heart. Whether it’s music, film, literature, or community work, I’m here to make something real, something that lasts, and to connect with other creatives who share that same fire.

I’m not just an artist. I’m a builder of worlds. Everything I create comes from my story, my scars, and my determination to turn struggle into something powerful

Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who taught you the most about work?
The person who taught me the most about work was my mom rest in peace to her. She was the definition of hustle and heart. I watched her as a single mother of three, grinding day and night to own her home, keep food on the table, and still show up for us in every way.

She wasn’t lazy not in life, not in spirit. She taught me that hard work isn’t just about clocking in, it’s about the pride you take in what you do, the way you treat people, and the legacy you leave behind. My mom didn’t just raise me, she raised my work ethic. And for that, I carry her in everything I do.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Honestly, there’ve been a lot of times I almost gave up. As an artist, it’s not easy especially when nothing seems to be moving, you’re putting in the work, but you feel like nobody’s really hearing you. I make music because I love it, because it’s in me… but even with that passion, some days you question yourself, like, What am I even doing this for?

But every single time I’ve been at that breaking point, something happens. Somebody will DM me, text me, or call me out of the blue, just to say they believe in me. And that little spark that faith from somebody else becomes the fuel to keep going.

It’s like that meme of the man digging for diamonds. He’s one hit away, but he quits too soon and walks away. That’s how I see it you never know if your next move is the one that changes everything. So no matter how tired I get, I remind myself… don’t give up. Because I might just be one swing away from my diamond.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
HellYeah, of course, on social media you might sprinkle in a few things you agree with that aren’t 100% your own story, but if I relate to it, it’s still a piece of me. So, yeah… the public version of me is real. What you see is exactly who I am.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. I feel like if something is your purpose something you were put on this earth to do you owe it to yourself to give it your all. Praise or recognition doesn’t define the work; the work defines you. I want to leave nothing on the table, because at the end of the day, I’m accountable to myself first, not anyone else.
