Benny Blanco Biography, Plus Why Does He Hate Charlie Puth?

Last updated on May 9th, 2022 at 05:39 pm

Benny Blanco, otherwise known as Benjamin Joseph Levin, was born on March 8, 1988, in Reston, Virginia. He is a self-proclaimed “nervous Jew” who was in the right place at the right time, having been able to carve out a very lucrative music career in collaboration with several high-profile stars and artists.

An early interest in music

From a very young age, Blanco showed an intense interest in music. His parents were supportive, though skeptical, of his rap-mogul dreams, and although they provided him with lessons and resources to fuel his passion, they did attempt to push him toward a more conventional career.

Fortunately for us, these suggestions did not work, and Benny clawed his way to the top of the production world to become one of the most successful young producers and recording artists of our time.

He is often seen hanging out with the most popular musicians today, including his best friend Lil’ Dicky on his hit TV show, “Dave.”

How old is Benny Blanco?

Benny Blanco is 33 years old. He’s still considered a young pup in the music business, though he’s been at his game for quite some time.

How did Benny Blanco become famous?

First scrapping his way to an internship with Dr. Luke, he would cold-call artists and ask for a minute of their time to hear his demo songs.

Blanco’s big break came when he was given the opportunity to collaborate with an up-and-coming Katy Perry on her hit song, “Teenage Dream.”

She recalled the studio collaboration as “pure magic.” She appreciated not only Blanco’s ability to know studio gold when he heard it, but she felt she’d been in the presence of someone truly unique and genuine.

Is Benny Blanco gay?

Many people question if Benny Blanco is gay due to the fact that he often mentions dildos and sexual acts in his Tiktok videos.

However, the rising star is notoriously private about his dating life, and this is just the way he likes it. It is not currently known who Blanco is involved with, whether it be a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Why does Benny Blanco hate Charlie Puth?

What rising star would be complete without a TikTok handle and a hilarious (and perhaps fake) feud with talented singer Charlie Puth?

For some reason, Blanco has chosen Puth as the target for all of his pent-up anger and rage, and his seething, sizzling burns are displayed via social media for all to see.

Whether this is a collaborative publicity stunt between the two or whether Blanco has justifiable cause to hate on the singer, we may never know.

We do tune in for some guilty social media indulgences from time to time to see how deep and dirty his digs are getting.
