Benny Benassi & Marc Benjamin feat. Christian Burns - Benny Benassi & Marc Benjamin feat. Christian Burns – Who I Am
Benny Benassi is widely regarded as one of the most internationally respected artists in the game. With over a decade to his illustrious career, the dance music pioneer adds yet another weapon to his ever-growing catalogue. His newest single, in collaboration with Dutch upstart Marc Benjamin and singer/songwriter Christian Burns, drives towards the peak of festival season.
On “Who Am I,” Benassi brings to the table tech/electro/house infused sounds which sync perfectly with Benjamin’s mature mainroom style. Christian Burns’ crisp vocals and inspiring lyrics act as a guide, winding you through the production’s ups, downs, and weaving melodies.
Hard-working and humble, Benny Benassi achieved overnight fame in 2002 with his international hit single, “Satisfaction.” His ensuing debut solo album ‘Hypnotica’ naturally followed suit, reaching Top 20 status in the Official Album Sales Chart across Europe for over a month, peaking at #5 in France. The critically acclaimed LP was subsequently awarded the “European Border Breakers Award” for racking up the most record sales for an Italian album outside of Italy.
Then in 2011, Benny Benassi did it again – joining forces with R&B megastar Chris Brown, Benassi produced one of the biggest crossover records of the year. Reaching the Top 10 on the Official Singles charts in the UK and numerous other territories around the world, “Beautiful People” shot the popular Italian maestro to undeniable international recognition. Soon after came the partnership with star vocalist Gary Go that gave us “Cinema.” A chart-topping EP of epic proportions, the original radio edit went Gold in the US and Platinum in both Australia and Canada, with Skrillex’s thunderous remix occupying the Top 10 on the iTunes US Dance Chart for over 6 months and swooping a Grammy for “Best Remixed Recording” in the process.
