Mike Posner has collaborations list

Mike Posner wants to work with Paul Simon and Andre 3000.

The 'Cooler Than Me' hitmaker has a huge list of people he would love to collaborate with, but says the 69-year-old singer/songwriter and the Outkast star are his top choices, though he hasn't yet reached out to ask them to feature on a project.

He said: "The top two people on my list are Paul Simon and Andre 3000.

"I've got nothing lined up with them, but at the same time I haven't tried."

Mike also admits he finds his success "weird and crazy" because although he has been involved in music for a long time, he only took up singing two years ago.

He explained: "I started producing when I was 13 and I did that for years and years.

"I got kind of tired of having to funnel all my ideas to other people. So I started singing about two years ago, and one of the first songs I recorded was 'Cooler Than Me', so it's kind of weird and crazy to be here. Music has always been my passion."
