Come produttore e compositore, Blanco ha venduto oltre 100 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo grazie al suo lavoro con artisti come Avicii, Halsey, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kesha, Sia, The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Keith Urban, Tory Lanez, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West, Juice Wrld, Eminem e Khalid. È anche il fondatore di due etichette in collaborazione con Interscope Records, Mad Love Records e Friends Keep Secrets.

Nel luglio 2018, Blanco ha pubblicato la canzone Eastside, una collaborazione con Halsey e Khalid. Raggiunse il numero 9 della Billboard Hot 100, segnando la prima top 10 di Blanco come artista e la sua ventisettesima come autore, quantità che include sette numeri uno. Eastside è stato seguito da I Found You con Calvin Harris, Better to Lie con Jesse e Swae Lee, Roses con Juice Wrld e Brendon Urie, e culminato con l'uscita del suo primo album più tardi lo stesso anno.
