Massive thanks to benny blanco for sharing your journey on 'Behind The Wall.' From creating chart-topping hits to now diving into the culinary world with his new cookbook, Open Wide, Benny proves that following your passions can take you anywhere. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out his cookbook. I had to order it myself-just like you saw in the interview, the version he has just has the number to Domino's in it, but trust me, the real one’s packed with actual recipes including a BTS cake! Might have to try to make that one. 🎂❤🔥 Also sign up for our newsletter: magic.beehiiv.com/v1/85d679b7-9db1-4923-85bd-a2463031cd17?email=
Great video! I didn't know much about Benny Blanco and this really shed light on him as a songwriter. I'm curious, what is the documentary you are talking about? I would love to watch it. Thanks!
@@ReinaWanhedaThe Defiant Ones - it’s about the story of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine - highly recommend it!! it’s actually on tubi or at least that’s how I watched it 😊
@@ReinaWanheda Oh Reina - there's two documentaries we talked about in this - the other is Ed Sheeran's Songwriter which shows Ed writing all the songs for Divide
The biggest song writers of our time? What do you mean by biggest? Songwriters who make "chart topping hits?" I don't know how to ended up in this black hole pocket of youtube but I'm flabbergasted at how many people find real meaning in this ridiculous, ultra capitalist aspect of the music industry. All of his songs are candy. Shiny, pretty sounding toilet music. I mean even the thumbnail of this video quotes him as saying about himself that he doesn't have talent lol Good luck with your rotting teeth and brains.
this interview seemed like a fun convo between 2 people but i really wished he asked kind of the basic hard questions when benny says some crazy shit like "yea i was in the studio with katy perry and snoop dogg at 18." like how'd you do that?
@@emredogu02 he mentioned that he was in a band, and co-writing songs and that's how he was discovered back in the day. someone prob reached out to him from that.
Benny seems like he is GENUINELY the kindest most chill human. I absolutely understand why Selena is head over heels and Benny deserves a good girl like Selena! They’re so cute and he’s an absolute genius!
i dont care for celebrity couples and all that and didnt knew they was dating but i must say thats pretty cool ngl😂 they somehow fit together pretty well idk why haha. I dont know much about Selena though, she seems like one of the better people in the evil business but who knows in the end of the day.
Honestly this comment made my day! My goal as a creator and storyteller is to shine a light on the people behind music, but it's also to provide value to anyone who watches. Thank you so much - so happy!!!!
@@DanielsWallwe can tell and you absolutely brought intrinsic stories and feelings/ vibes out of him. What a compelling interview. Just saved it to its own playlist and subscribed to ALL your uploads dude. Keep up the inspiring work

There is a synchronicity for almost every time stamp too. Coming from a synchronistic girly, this channel and Benny are going much farther than the huge accomplishments they’ve already made. And it’s 2:22 as I post this.
Cant help but notice that Benny is on some sort of script with most of his stories, like word for word from other interviews ive watched. Hes a really inspiring person, but it seems like hes just in character.
benny is that guy... i learnt how to talk my clients, after watching of video of him talking about being a therapist to his artists...they make the best music then ❤
He’s just so nice to hang out with, so sweet how he offers u a hug what a great guy well done for creating your dream to interview him, was a nice evening watching n listening to all the clips mentioned too
I think the feeling IS all the little details. You don’t have to be consciously aware of it. But remove it all and the song will not feel the same. It’s like with food. If it’s well seasoned you aren’t going to say, wow that salt level was incredible. Quite the contrary - when you notice the salt or lack of, it’s a problem.
I just wrote a comment saying basically the same thing. People only notice something when it’s wrong. Putting in the effort ensures that they don’t notice
My dad worked for 50 years in this industry. He summarized production by saying this : "Whether a sound is right or not or good or not is irrelevant. That's stupid question. Any sound is good if it fits the song. You cannot ever tell whether or not ANY sound is right by soloing it. Ever." If the snare needs to be an apple crunch cuz you think it fits, so be it! There is no "better" sound. That's the beauty of incorporating electronics and pedals and stuff. There is NO objectively "better" sound, VS a classical or jazz recording that has to "hi fi". Phase correlation almost doesn't matter, because our brain don't have a "real" equivalent of a beat or any other electronic piece of music, so it's not weirded out by the phase being off or whatever. There is a lot less engineering going on for us because there is a lot MORE engineering that's been done so what WE can be more free. I think that's beautiful.
Great job, that was some good interviewing. I came here not knowing who this guy was, now he's my benchmark for "good vibes". i get why so many artists would want him in the room with them.
Never go with the internets perception of someone based off of biased opinion. So glad I encountered this interview because he is actually extremely fascinating and eclectic. He just gained a fan.
This was a fantastic interview. So glad I got the recommendation in my feed! Benny’s awesome and seems so down to earth. This is the first time that I’ve thought that Benny has a Rick Rubin thing going on after watching this insightful interview. Kudos to this interviewer and this channel which I’m now subscribed to.
You are a very good interviewer, instead of just regurgitating questions you listen to your guests and respond with questions based on their responses. Very good skills that I feel a lot of people do not recognize.
i wonder how much of a cut this guy takes for the big hits. if you have a good voice, a good aesthetic, and can pull an audience, get this man to write a song and somehow sing on it and you’re golden
To hear someone say so many of the things I feel about life and music was so impactful to me. Thank you SO much for this interview Daniel, and a big thank you Benny. I'm inspired right now to start chasing my own dreams.
He's so laid back, like he's not a talented artist/writer/producer and success just fell in his lap. I wish I had thar type of talent for anything. The be the best at something and think it just happened over and over from luck is a gift. Maybe that's why he is so down to earth with all this success
Superb interview! So glad i got a small glimpse into Bennys world, before today I had only heard his name here and there. Benny vibrates at a high frequency attracting others on the same vibe!!
This is the first video of yours i see and everyone is (rightfully so) praising benny for well being benny, but you are an amazing interviewer, you really connect with the interviewee and you facilitate a very chill casual vibe while also still having solidly done your research on your subject. Amazing king!
Daniel, I echo everyone else's comments, you're a fantastic interviewer/conversationalist, so cool to witness your continued growth, again this is absolutely insane! stoked for you dude - Trey
They care. They just don't know what it is they're caring about. Building the song and agonizing over the details is what creates the overall sound that gives the listener those feelings. They just don't know why.
Wooow you have interview probably the 4th most iconic songwriters of our generation...incredible! Benny seems like a nice guy besides super talented with all the songs he has been part of...and your interviews are so relaxed and it gives you the feel that you've known them forever...keep the hard work ❤
Owww It's so nice to see where you started and where you are today ! Very cool chat and genuinely so sweet to watch ;) Ed was mentionned so many times in this, that you have to get him on next ! Keep going, this is inspiring too!
Sheeriotalk, your comment means the world - Thank you so much for checking it out and saying this!! I'd love to chat with Ed at some point - been a fan of him since the plus era and would love to talk with him about his story
1:59 the way he whispers “cook” as in disbelief 😂😂😂😂 I got his cooking book it’s actually pretty good. I made that banana pudding. We finished it in a day. ❤❤❤❤
Algorithms did an algorithmic thing! So glad I stumbled upon this - beautiful chat, with a couple of beautiful individuals :D Subscribed now and can't wait to see what else you get up to Daniel, way to go! 👏
Benny, I listen to the little details, they are absolutely beautiful. I don't believe you can miss with the amount of hard work you put in and I strive to be like you one day. I appreciate you Benny!
tbh this is god tier content. anyone that has produced or engineered anything real has learned the general listener doesnt give a single f*ck about the extra things we do. just make a banger with some feels. this is how nerds like this get massive credits.
It's so awesome to see the process of these amazing producers and song writers, to see how they've made so much music and how they still cherish every single one. Hopefully some of us make it there.
Thank you for putting these videos together Daniel. I’ve always dreamed about creating music, but the entire process seemed so far fetched and unrealistic. Thank you for inspiring a long dormant dream of mine. Keep it up! Love these videos I keep seeing shorts I’ve just discovered the full interviews
So we still don’t know exactly how he got started writing Britney Spears songs at 18 not knowing what he was doing. Totally skipped over how he got into it.
Thank you for making these, they’re so inspiring and insightful. And you’re so good at what you do, you make me feel like I’m there with two friends and one of them has some crazy stories to share.
thank you Daniel for giving us this interview with Benny. i’d never heard his name before news came out of him and Selena dating. prior to this interview- of course i’m familiar with all the hits he’s part of and his apparent emergence on social media. however, it wasn’t in the best light. from the impression i got, he could be a tad vulgar in some seemingly humorous videos. nonetheless, i now have a profound appreciation for his talent and genuinely think he’s a cool ass dude. i definitely understand what Selena sees in him. ultimately looks fade (if you even had them in the first place) so i don’t get why people have to hate on him so much. what should he do? get plastic surgery like the kar-jenners and hadids? Benny has a unique charm to him with a brilliant mind as well ❤️
Fantastic interview end to end. So glad to have found your channel in my feed. I absolutely love to hear artists & creatives talk about their art and process.
We just wanted to say that we really enjoyed watching the video, thank you so much for the interview. It was very interesting and educational to learn all about the artist and his journey too!
That’s a good point in the beginning of the interview.. that inspires me to pay attention to more so the feeling of everything instead of obsessing or “ocd”ing about one single or even multiple aspects of the music. It all comes back to that before we became musicians.. the feeling of the music that inspired us to do this
I never realised how much i relate to everything Benny said as a musician. I'm seriously agonising over it all to the point i feel writers block and anxiety of making everything sound good but i'm understanding that i need to get out of my head and just put it out there because the vibe i'm going for is decent enough and i can learn as i go. I don't want to make music to be famous. i want to make music to make music and use it to raise money for causes i feel strongly about but this part and getting attention (and the chaos of covid)has put me off for a few years but it's my goal is to just get it out by next year. i want to overcome the anxiety for myself. Music is so healing and i love this vibe from benny. i really needed this today. Thank you
Amazing interview. I’m also a writer and an artist and I relate sooo much to a lot of what Benny is saying. Great questions and flow in the conversation. Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪
such a beautiful inteview. every question flowed into thought out answer with sincerity. kept me engaged the whole time and brought me so much satisfaction. thank you both
Such a big fan and fascinated by Benny... hearing him fall in love with music through singles and having the same taste as me truly made my day... it's weird I never played instruments but always wanted to help people make music.. weird I know.

I like to imagine Benny isn’t sat on a chair but actually floating on a magical rug
That is in fact a magic rug :)
😭
I thought it was AI, good to know he was actually floating.
😂😂 👍
🙌🏼
my jaw dropped when he said he was 18 making those tracks, actually insane
this interview seemed like a fun convo between 2 people but i really wished he asked kind of the basic hard questions when benny says some crazy shit like "yea i was in the studio with katy perry and snoop dogg at 18." like how'd you do that?
@@dixonyamada6969 yeah like i dont uderstand? how did he even get in those rooms? does he explain?
@@emredogu02 there might be a reason he wants to skip over that and says "we" a lot
@@davidfitzpatrick371what do you mean?
@@emredogu02 he mentioned that he was in a band, and co-writing songs and that's how he was discovered back in the day. someone prob reached out to him from that.

they somehow fit together pretty well idk why haha.
I dont know much about Selena though, she seems like one of the better people in the evil business but who knows in the end of the day.
Everything Benny does it feels like he genuinely just wants to make people feel joy and happy. Such a cool dude
Benny: yeah I have to go now but I’ll give you 3 more questions.
Also Benny: talks for 20 more minutes 😂 he’s so kind
Someone who finally knows how to ask producers good questions.. I thought I'd have to start a channel 😅
Honestly this comment made my day! My goal as a creator and storyteller is to shine a light on the people behind music, but it's also to provide value to anyone who watches. Thank you so much - so happy!!!!

And it’s 2:22 as I post this.
Look into the “supposed“ meaning behind 222.
@18:44 Music is magic because it’s a frequency. It’s a fact that the frequency manipulates ALL matter.
he seems so down to earth, what a great character
Fr tho
On behalf of all songwriters trying to grow their craft, your channel is a blessing. Feels like you’re pulling these questions right out of my head
I will never understand any hate this man gets! He’s the epitome of an artist and actually loves to collaborate with other artists. That’s rare.
It's because of his looks. People judge that.
A lot of it is ignorant antisemitism. I see it in comment threads whenever his relationship with Selena is mentioned.
Cant help but notice that Benny is on some sort of script with most of his stories, like word for word from other interviews ive watched. Hes a really inspiring person, but it seems like hes just in character.

I just wrote a comment saying basically the same thing. People only notice something when it’s wrong. Putting in the effort ensures that they don’t notice
this comment IS THE ONLY TRUTH THAT EXISTS about music. Details are like seasoning. EXACTLY!
i feel the exact same way , music flows through you it’s all about being on the right frequency
🙏🏼🩵✨🦋☀️🪬
The most fascinating interview and the interviewer was so thoughtful and asked the best question.
Love how you get the best out of the people you interview! Great stuff.
Appreciate you for checking it out! Means the world!!! More on the way that I know you'll love
Hi TheFatRat!!! Cool to see you here
Love this interviewer. He lets people talk! A+. "We all want to 'emmm!'"
Him talking about first finding Juice WRLD was so touching to me. Made my eyes water with joy! Like a rags to riches story.
Juice was a legit prodigy. Shame he had to do drugs to maintain that creative frequency
Him and Rick Rubin are two people who blow my mind. They are weaved into so many different songs, albumns, artists, and from it culture in general.
Had to look for this comment I'm like he's a young Rick Ruben down to no shoes
And both say they have no idea what they're doing. LOL
This dude is not only a genius but he seems so nice. What a dream to work with him.
A session with Benny is exactly the therapy I need.
Blanco is such a thoughtful and genuine guy. I love him with Gomez too. They have that in common. 💕
My dad worked for 50 years in this industry. He summarized production by saying this : "Whether a sound is right or not or good or not is irrelevant. That's stupid question.

Coolio
It’s refreshing to see a interviewer asking good questions. You did an amazing job!
Benny is an inspiration in being yourself and putting yourself out there. I could watch videos or interviews for hours and hours.
Weird that a genuine guy goes by the name of a fictional character.
Great job, that was some good interviewing. I came here not knowing who this guy was, now he's my benchmark for "good vibes". i get why so many artists would want him in the room with them.
Gosh Benny is so authentic to himself and genuine. Has so much wisdom and such meaningful stories. This is such a refreshing interview

Of all those million dollar “sit with a celeb or take the money” posts on the internet Benny would be the one I’d sit with

great interview, congratz!
That's impressive how the interviewer is getting his goals, bless you bro
So we still don’t know exactly how he got started writing Britney Spears songs at 18 not knowing what he was doing. Totally skipped over how he got into it.
I wonder if Benny was a super loner with i;band or I'd he was a full on band geek?
He’s Jewish that’s how he got into it
Solid music interview, bringing out the details and behind the scenes facts we'd never know otherwise!
It’s really nice to listen to Benny talking! And the questions were really good!
@4:26 😂😂😂

I love that I found this channel. ❤️
I’ve seen so many good clips from this, I think it’s about time I watched the whole thing.
too good man. Can’t wait to tune in to the rest of these
YESSIR!!! many more to come ty - now teach me tech plz
Love this interview 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for making these, they’re so inspiring and insightful. And you’re so good at what you do, you make me feel like I’m there with two friends and one of them has some crazy stories to share.
First time, I have ever actually watched a UA-cam video without skipping, and 47 minutes long at that! Extremely impressive and interesting interview.
How did I not know about Benny Blanco until NOW!?!

thank you Daniel for giving us this interview with Benny. i’d never heard his name before news came out of him and Selena dating. prior to this interview- of course i’m familiar with all the hits he’s part of and his apparent emergence on social media. however, it wasn’t in the best light. from the impression i got, he could be a tad vulgar in some seemingly humorous videos. nonetheless, i now have a profound appreciation for his talent and genuinely think he’s a cool ass dude. i definitely understand what Selena sees in him. ultimately looks fade (if you even had them in the first place) so i don’t get why people have to hate on him so much. what should he do? get plastic surgery like the kar-jenners and hadids? Benny has a unique charm to him with a brilliant mind as well ❤️
Came here to watch this interview after being inspired and amazed with your Mike Posner interview. Keep up the good work Daniel!
Fantastic interview end to end. So glad to have found your channel in my feed. I absolutely love to hear artists & creatives talk about their art and process.
This might be one of the few interviews to be recorded with a Neve 1073.
Letssss gooo been waiting for this for a minute!!!
Right there with ya!!! Let’s go!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
We just wanted to say that we really enjoyed watching the video, thank you so much for the interview. It was very interesting and educational to learn all about the artist and his journey too!
That’s a good point in the beginning of the interview.. that inspires me to pay attention to more so the feeling of everything instead of obsessing or “ocd”ing about one single or even multiple aspects of the music. It all comes back to that before we became musicians.. the feeling of the music that inspired us to do this
The conversation we wanted and needed⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love your name, Daniel! ❤ This comment made my name 🎉🎉🎉
Just subscribed and liked, I'm now a fan of you and Benny, yall both seem like great people, keep up the good work broski 😁✌️
I never realised how much i relate to everything Benny said as a musician. I'm seriously agonising over it all to the point i feel writers block and anxiety of making everything sound good but i'm understanding that i need to get out of my head and just put it out there because the vibe i'm going for is decent enough and i can learn as i go. I don't want to make music to be famous. i want to make music to make music and use it to raise money for causes i feel strongly about but this part and getting attention (and the chaos of covid)has put me off for a few years but it's my goal is to just get it out by next year. i want to overcome the anxiety for myself. Music is so healing and i love this vibe from benny. i really needed this today. Thank you
Great interview, subscribed. You should get Bonnie McKee to talk about #1s ten-fifteen years ago too
100% agree adding all the little details in a right way is the hardest part lool good one

Just realised Benny sat with his legs in that position for a whole 40+ minutes my man is too zen
Amazing interview. I’m also a writer and an artist and I relate sooo much to a lot of what Benny is saying. Great questions and flow in the conversation. Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪

such a beautiful inteview. every question flowed into thought out answer with sincerity. kept me engaged the whole time and brought me so much satisfaction. thank you both
This is such an amazing interview, I actually had no idea how much music Benny blanco had produced and the questions were well researched.
Such a big fan and fascinated by Benny... hearing him fall in love with music through singles and having the same taste as me truly made my day... it's weird I never played instruments but always wanted to help people make music.. weird I know.
