Who is Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco?
Born on March 8, 1988, Benjamin Joseph Levin is famously known as Benny Blanco.
Benny is an American record producer and musician from Reston, Virginia.
At the beginning of his career, he was mentored by record producers Disco D and Dr. Luke.
After he signed with Dr. Luke’s Kasz Money Productions, he began to see success as the songwriter behind several stars.
Benny has crafted hit songs for Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Wiz Khalifa, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Maroon 5, and Kesha.
In March 2014, he launched two record label imprints under Interscope Records: Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets.
The hitmaker released his debut album, Friends Keep Secrets, on December 7, 2018, marking his first lead artist release.
Regarding the popularity of his production discography, Benny told The New York Times: “I’m not particularly good at anything.
“I just try to fit in where it makes sense. I’m not an incredible guitarist or piano player or songwriter.
“I think what I do is, when I notice someone is really good at something, I try to get that out of them.
“I just want to sound different than everyone else.”
He added: “I am still waiting for the day that they say ‘Time’s up, Blanco, back to your shift at Walmart.’
“When you are writing in the studio, it’s like the people who are in the studio with you are a dysfunctional family.
“You are basically like a therapist. It’s psychology.”

“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you.
“And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.
On May 7, Dana Covarrubias, a costume designer for Only Murders in the Building, exclusively spoke to The U.S. Sun and gave insight into the couple’s romance.
