Benny Blanco makes his living as a music creator and executive in the pop industry.

What he actually does day to day

  • He is a record producer who builds the instrumental tracks, sounds, and overall vibe for songs that end up on the radio.
  • He is a songwriter who helps write melodies and lyrics for major artists across pop, hip‑hop, and dance music.
  • He is a recording studio collaborator, sitting in sessions with artists like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Selena Gomez, Maroon 5, and many others to shape songs from rough ideas to finished hits.
  • He is a record-label guy and executive; he has founded imprint labels and worked in a management-style role signing and developing other artists.
  • He is also a solo artist now, releasing his own albums and singles under the name benny blanco, sometimes featuring other singers on his tracks.

In simple terms, his job is to stay behind (and sometimes in front of) the mic, crafting hit songs for big names and for his own projects, and earning money through production fees, songwriting royalties, label roles, and his own releases.
