Benny Blanco Reveals What Helped Him Win Over Selena Gomez: ‘I Didn’t Use, Like, Black Magic’
"We're in a really good spot and I'm very fortunate," he said during a new interview.
Benny Blanco, the hitmaker and producer behind numerous chart-topping hits, revealed during a recent interview that the key to winning over Selena Gomez was simply being nice. In a conversation on TODAY, Blanco joked that he didn't rely on any "black magic" to succeed with Gomez. Instead, he emphasized the importance of understanding and open communication in a relationship.
The couple, who eventually married, had worked together on several projects before their first date, which Blanco only realized was a date when they were already sitting together at a dinner. Their enduring relationship and Blanco's success in the music industry have been a result of his persistence and refusal to accept "no" as an answer, according to him.
Blanco, a 12-time Grammy nominee, shared his experiences, including hustling his way into New York studios as a teenager and collaborating with artists like Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, and Justin Bieber. In his upcoming book, F–k Failure, Blanco emphasizes the value of failure in his journey, encouraging readers to learn from his mistakes instead of repeating them.
