My Take
What fascinates me about Benny Blanco is how thoroughly he rejects the mythology of the tortured genius. Eleven Grammy nominations, five BMI Songwriter of the Year awards, and yet he presents himself like the goofy friend who happens to cook dinner for pop stars. I think that approachability is the actual engine of his success: artists relax around him, and relaxed artists give honest performances. His pivot to performing and writing books could have felt like vanity, but it reads instead as restless curiosity. In an industry obsessed with personas, his refusal to take himself seriously may be the most durable persona of all.
