Benny Blanco Early Life
Benny Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, was born March 8, 1988, in Reston, Virginia to a Jewish family. Not much is known about his family as he has done an incredible job of protecting their anonymity.
Although, he has stated in various interviews that his family were always supportive of his interest in music that showed from an early age.
He has said that he became interested in music when he was still young. “The World Is Yours” by Nas and “I Swear” by All-4-One were two of the first songs that made him want to become a hip hop artist. He wrote his first lines and made his first hip hop instrumentals while he was still in high school.
At the beginning of the 2000s, he went to the Institute of Audio Research (IAR) in New York to study studio engineering. During the same time, he started working as a DJ in bars and restaurants. He kept making music, but nothing was ever put out during that decade. Some of his early recordings of him rapping caught the attention of people at Columbia Records. In 2007, he signed a deal with the label and met other musicians with whom he started making music.
Music Career
Benny Blanco’s profession career began in 2007 when he met the producer, Dr. Luke. Dr.Luke took Blanco under his wing eventually signing him to his production company, KASZ Money Productions.

The song got to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on American pop radio.
