5:16Now PlayingPopular singer and songwriter Eric Bellinger exclusively talked to VladTV about his songwriting process, growing up in Compton and his special connection to Michael Jackson.
One-fifth of popular writing team, The Writing Camp, Bellinger has helped create hits for Beyonce, Chris Brown, Selena Gomez and many more. Bellinger says his time in church helped him create solid music. His relation to legendary songwriter Bobby Day was also a big influence on him. Day penned some of The Jackson 5's popular tracks like "Rockin' Robin," and "Little Bitty Pretty One."
"I think knowing my grandfather did it helped," he said. "He had a studio in his house, in his basement, in his garage so I would be there and I was lucky enough to meet him and I took on the same exact role where I had a studio in my bedroom and I moved in a bigger place and I got a room specifically for a studio and now I've built out a real studio at an establishment so I've thought, 'If grandpa can do it, I can do it.'"
He also had nothing but kind words to say about Michael Jackson and how his media persona was completely different from who he was in real life.
