Before he married Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco was a songwriter and producer.
Since then, not so much.
He’s got a podcast with a married couple — Lil Dicky (Dave Burd) and Dave’s wife, Kristin Batalucco. It’s called “Friends Keep Secrets.”
He also just released a Spanish language album called “Hermosa,” which AI thinks sold 70,000 copies but there’s no sign of it on hitsdailydouble.com. We’re looking into that.
Now Benny has a book called “F*ck Failure.” Selena, who just wrapped season 6 on “Only Murders in the Building” in London, will accompany him on a tour. The first date is September 18th at Webster Hall in the East Village. The event is already sold out.
The book’s ad line:
| “F*ck Failure gives you the non-shortcut shortcuts to success. If you let it, this book can change your life. Soon enough, failure will start to feel good. And once you realize that failure is freedom, you’ll never look back.” |
The description: “Join benny and Selena for an intimate conversation about their lives, careers and the power of embracing failure to overcome life’s challenges. For every ticket sold, Selena and benny will each donate $25 to the Rare Impact Fund. Rare Impact Fund is a fiscally sponsored project of Hopewell Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity.”
I guess there will more dates since the website says it’s a tour, not just a one off.
Amazon is taking pre-orders for $26. Simon & Schuster is the publisher.
Here’s some of Benny’s advice:
