Benny Benassi, the man behind last year's massive electro-house anthem Satisfaction has launched an online search for a female singer, to collaborate with him on a new project he's currently developing.

"If you are interested, wherever you're based, please send a CD with your vocals," says Benny on his label website www.offlimits-production.it.

"It doesn't matter what songs are on the CD, as long as it's your voice (original material, covers, demos, whatever).

Chatting to Skrufff this week, the 30 something producer revealed that his own path to success had been both rocky and long.

I started DJing when I was 16 years old, in Reggio Emilio, however, that's what I was doing at night," he said.

"During the day, I used to deliver paint to earn enough money to be able to eat. I'd always be turning up half asleep at carpenters' shops, with my long hair, carrying buckets of paint, and I'm sure they thought I was wasting my life away following my impossible dream of working in music. I'd often so tired from DJing, that you'd always find me asleep in the back of the van between one delivery and the next."

Benny's also just mixed the latest compilation CD for Erick Morillo's Subliminal Records which comes out on March 22.

Singers should send their demos to the following address:

Off Limits
Via Sessi 8
42100 Reggio Emilia
Italy
