Overview

  • During a July 10 appearance on the Therapuss podcast, Blanco said he often hears a song in public and uses the app to confirm it’s one of his own productions.
  • He attributed the habit to memory lapses that come with having produced hundreds of songs across a 16-year career.
  • Blanco noted his career began with a major credit on Britney Spears’ “Circus” and includes Kesha’s “TiK ToK,” Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Rihanna’s “Diamonds” and Ed Sheeran’s “Happier.”
  • He and fiancée Selena Gomez released their collaborative album I Said I Love You First in March, showcasing both their artistic chemistry and personal relationship.
  • The couple has postponed wedding planning because back-to-back album promo, music videos and other production commitments have left them with little free time.
