Like Blanco, Shayman was also a Jewish DJ whose interest in the music field started very early.<\/p>\n As a teenager in Michigan, he helped make the Ghettotech music genre popular and went on to produce albums for 50 Cent and other huge names.<\/p>\n Blanco was one of those meteoric risers in the music industry like Lil Tecca<\/a>: young, creative, and going places. After his first job, he was taken under the wing of Dr. Luke. The famous music producer and songwriter was so impressed with him that signed him to Kasz Money Productions, his label.<\/p>\n Now an extremely controversial figure, Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald\u2019s, first huge success was \u201cSince You\u2019ve Been Gone,\u201d Kelly Clarkson\u2019s enormous hit single, which he produced with Max Martin, another huge name in the industry.<\/p>\n He then went on to produce songs for stars such as Pink, Nicki Minaj, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Kesha.<\/p>\n Image Credit: lev radin \/ shutterstock.com”<\/p><\/div>\n The latter is what got him in trouble, however, when Kesha sued him, accusing him of having violently raped her and inflicted extreme psychological damage upon her. As a result, he lost a large amount of his standing in the industry. It\u2019s not clear to what extent Bobby Blanco\u2019s reputation may have suffered from being associated with him.<\/p>\n During their professional relationship, however, Blanco co-wrote and co-produced many of the songs that Dr. Luke would claim as his successes. These include \u201cTiK ToK,\u201d Kesha\u2019s first massive hit, and the also hugely successful \u201cTeenage Dream,\u201d sung by Katy Perry.<\/p>\n \u201cTeenage Dream\u201d was a number one song on the US Billboard Top 100, Katy Perry\u2019s third time achieving this distinction. It was also, significantly, her second in a row, having accomplished it with \u201cCalifornia Gurls\u201d just before.<\/p>\n It also topped the charts in Slovakia, New Zealand, and Ireland, was in the top 10 in another 9 countries, and went platinum in 11 countries.<\/p>\n The next big hit he collaborated on was \u201cCircus\u201d by Britney Spears. \u201cCircus\u201d was the title track on Spears\u2019 sixth studio album, which was praised for being a return to a lighter pop sound after her previous album, Blackout, which had more of an edge.<\/p>\n At the same time, \u201cCircus\u201d had a deeper meaning underneath its dance pop exterior and fun theme. It was meant as a metaphor for how Spears\u2019 fans perceived her. It became a huge critical and commercial hit. It charted number one on American radio, hit third place on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100, and remains a huge selling song online for Spears. Worldwide, it had five and a half million downloads.<\/p>\n Blanco moved on from Dr. Luke in 2011, striking out on his own and producing a number of huge hits. The most prominent is probably \u201cMoves Like Jagger,\u201d the hit Maroon 5 song, which he co-wrote with Maroon 5 front runner Adam Levine, Shellback (who co-produced it), and Ammar Malik.<\/p>\n The song blends the electropop and disco genres and is about how someone manages to nab a romantic partner by dancing in a style similar to that of legendary Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Its insanely catchy hook is supported by an infectious beat created by electronic drums and synths.<\/p>\n \u201cMoves Like Jagger,\u201d which also featured an appearance by pop singer Christina Aguilera, was released in June 2011 as the fourth single of the updated edition of Hands All Over, Maroon 5\u2019s third album. That CD first came out in 2010 and was then re-released with this new bonus track included at the end.<\/p>\n The song was huge, making it to the number one spot in more than 18 separate countries. It became Maroon 5\u2019s 2nd single to make it to first place, and Aguilera\u2019s 5th. It\u2019s one of the biggest hit songs of all time. Additionally, it made Christina Aguilera only the second woman in music history to have a number one in the 90s, 00s, and 10s, and fourth to do so in 3 distinct decades.<\/p>\n Maroon 5 was so pleased with these incredible results that they later worked with him on their next enormous hit album, Overexposed, which debuted at second place on the Billboard 200, and gave the band some of their best sales of all time.<\/p>\n In addition to producing the album overall, he also co-wrote the first single, which was called \u201cPayphone\u201d and included an appearance by rapper Wiz Khalifa. The other writers were, again, front runner Adam Levine, co-producer Shellback, and Ammar Malik, and this time also included Robopop, the stage name of songwriter Daniel Omelio.<\/p>\n Awards he has won include the Hal David Starlight Award<\/a>, which is given to young rising stars in the industry. It was presented to him on June 13, 2013 at the 44th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony. Upon receiving it, he remarked, \u201cThey picked the wrong person. I\u2019m in a room with people I should probably be serving food to.\u201d<\/p>\n He also won the Producer of the Year Award in 2017 at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and won the BMI Songwriter of the Year so far a grand total of 5 times.<\/p>\n Over the years, Blanco has produced and\/or written a genuinely staggering number of number one songs: 29 as of the latest count.<\/p>\n Image Credit: DFree \/ shutterstock.com”<\/p><\/div>\n Some of the many songs he worked on that haven\u2019t yet been mentioned are: Jordin Sparks\u2019 \u201cWatch You Go,\u201d Flo Rida\u2019s \u201cTouch Me\u201d and \u201cWho Dat Girl,\u201d Justin Bieber\u2019s \u201cEenie Meenie,\u201d Pitbull\u2019s \u201cCome N\u2019 Go,\u201d Nicki Minaj\u2019s \u201cMasquarade,\u201d Adam Lambert\u2019s \u201cNaked Love,\u201d Rihanna\u2019s \u201cDiamonds,\u201d Bruno Mar\u2019s \u201cNatalie,\u201d Jessie J\u2019s \u201cThunder,\u201d and Ed Sheeran\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n Others include Ariana Grande\u2019s \u201cWhy Try\u201d and \u201cBe My Baby,\u201d Jessie Ware\u2019s \u201cTough Love,\u201d \u201cYou and I Forever,\u201d \u201cSay You Love Me,\u201d \u201cKind Of\u2026Sometimes\u2026Maybe\u201d and \u201cChampagne Kisses.\u201d He also worked on \u201cBaby Don\u2019t Lie\u201d for the iconic Gwen Stefani, Charli XCX\u2019s \u201cCaught in the Middle,\u201d The Weeknd\u2019s \u201cTrue Colors,\u201d Selena Gomez\u2019s \u201cKill \u2018Em With Kindness,\u201d and \u201cLove\u201d with the inestimable Lana Del Rey.<\/p>\n After all of this success producing other people\u2019s work, Blanco finally began to release his own music, starting in 2018 with a single on which he performed the vocals along with co-writers Khalid and Halsey.<\/p>\n The song made the Billboard Hot 100 charts, ultimately peaking in 9th place, but it was an even bigger hit worldwide, where it went number one in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore, New Zealand, and made other top 10 charts in Denmark, Canada, Australia, and Norway.<\/p>\n \u201cEastside\u201d was, however, not without its controversies. The three songwriters were sued by another band, American XO, for copyright infringement. They claimed that its guitar riff was stolen from their song, \u201cLoveless\u201d from 2015.<\/p>\n After \u201cEast Side,\u201d Benny Blanco released a few more songs, including \u201cI Found You,\u201d a collaboration with Calvin Harris, and \u201cRoses,\u201d with Brendon Urie. This culminated in Friends Keep Secrets, his debut album, in 2018, which was also the name of his label. It featured his previously-released singles and more.<\/p>\n He then re-released the album in March 2021 with even more new tracks and called it Friends Keep Secrets 2. It featured new songs with artists such as Justin Bieber and Juice Wrld, and was also a big hit, like its predecessor.<\/p>\n At the start of 2019, Benny Blanco supported The While They Wait Fund, which was set up by a number of organizations such as the ACLU, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, and the Brooklyn Defender Services to help refugees seeking asylum.<\/p>\n To that end, he released a song called \u201cI Found You\/Nilda\u2019s Story\u201d about a Honduran woman. Proceeds from the song benefitted the fund.<\/p>\n He soon afterward released other music with artists such as Selena Gomez, Juice Wrld, and Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n He also made his love of food an active part of his career when he launched a cooking show on his YouTube Channel called Matty and Benny Eat Out America. Matty is Matty Matheson, a highly regarded chef. They followed this with another new show a year later in March 2021 called \u201cStupid F*cking Cooking Show\u201d.<\/p>\n Also in 2020, Blanco appeared on network TV, on the FXX channel playing himself, albeit an exaggerated version, on the first two seasons of a show called Dave<\/a>.<\/p>\n Recommended Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n Benzino Net Worth \u2013 How Much Does he Make?<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Benny Blanco was born 8 March 1988, in Reston, Virginia.
