These are the building blocks that launched the steady rise of Danny Fernandes, R&B’s newest northern light. Of course, it helps to be part of a constellation. That’s why 22-year-old Fernandes, born September 16th 1985, joined forces with Canada’s hottest urban indie, CP Records, home to hit-makers Massari and Belly. “This kid is a triple threat. He's headed to the top,” boasts Belly, who recruited the young singer/songwriter/dancer into his revolutionary army invading Canada’s airwaves. The pair are leading the charge with Fernandes’ latest synth-fuelled club smash “Private Dancer,” but Danny doesn’t think he can dance—he knows it, Canada. It’s been his whole life since age six. Intro might be Fernandes’ first album, but he’s been working his way up since he was knee-high. Born the middle child in a musical Italian/Portuguese family—his grandfather was an opera singer, his big brother is early ‘00s radio staple Shawn Desman—Fernandes took to dancing to keep out the shadows. He proved a quick study with an ambitious streak. By eleven he had an agent and was dancing in commercials. By 16 he was practically drowning in gold medals, even netting two consecutive (and aptly-named) Rising Star awards in the annual CNE dance battle. At the same time, he blew away thousands of competitors to become the youngest member of the Toronto Raptor’s famed Dance Pak and started appearing regularly as a backup dancer in music videos. “A lot of parents don’t support that as much as they would a doctor, a dentist or lawyer,” Danny recalls. “When I told my parents, they said ‘let’s do it, you gotta work.’” Soon after, he hit the road with the likes of Aaron Carter, Blackstreet, Deborah Cox and, of course, his brother Sean, with whom he toured the world for an entire year, even playing the NBA All-Star game in Atlanta. By the time he returned to Canada, Danny was ready to step up to the mic. He hooked up with then-fledgling producer Pilzbury and the pair ensconced themselves in a Brampton studio. “From there on we made history, man, we just made music every day.” One of their first collaborations, way back in 2003, was the song “Curious.” In a rare case of piracy gone right, the track mysteriously leaked online (“I don’t know who did it,” Danny says, “but who ever did I want to thank”) and was discovered by a DJ in Germany who pressed it to bootleg vinyl. Fernandes’ MySpace page got flooded with requests and soon touring Europe for months on end and topping club charts. Then it was high time to conquer Canada. Fernandes didn’t have a label yet, but that didn’t hinder him overseas. So late last year, he sent “Curious” down to New York and the hot track easily convinced rapper Juelz Santana to drop a guest spot. Then Danny started working radio—not as an “indie” but as a true independent artist. Without any label backup, “Curious” shot up radio playlists. By the time he’d soared, solo, into the top 20, CP Records snatched up this fresh talent. You only get one chance to make a first impression, so Fernandes and Belly hunkered down in the studio to write the songs that would become his debut album Intro. “I make music that I can dance to,” Danny says matter-of-fact. “That’s what I do because I was a dancer before I was anything else.” So rest assured Fernandes knows how to move hips. His debut is rammed with addictive club bangers, led by “Curious” and his fiery new floor-filler “Private Dancer.” Built on spectral synths and skintight beats, Danny’s sexed-up songs, even the slow numbers, are purpose-built for getting down and picking up, busting moves and breaking hearts. Since taking his first steps towards stardom, Fernandes ambitions have only grown. The singer-dancer is positioning himself as the next Chris Brown or Justin Timberlake. It’s a big goal, sure, but so far Fernandes has cleared every high bar he’s set. This album might be his intro, but there are more chapters to come .“Keep putting out singles, keep putting out albums, keep putting out videos,” Fernandes says. “I don’t ever plan to stop

You can, be my, be my, my private dancer girl
You can, be my, be my, my private dancer girl

My private dancer girl, my private dancer girl

You got a question, girl I got the answer (Yeah)
You can be my private dancer (Yeah)

(Now) you, you can by my, you can be my private

Walk in the spot, lookin' fly, at the corner of my eye, see a shorty tryna look my way
She knows what it is, and she knows who I am so I don't got much to say
She try to leave her man but he grabs her hand and he screams out somethin' like, "Hey, hey, hey"
(Bring it back) Got Patron by my side and whole lotta lime, it's time to get it started
You know what's on my mind, girl let's leave this party, yeah
I'm in love with how you move your body, hey, hey
You got a question, baby

You got a question, girl I got the answer (Girl, I got your answer, yeah)
You can be my private dancer (You can be my private, girl)
You can be my private dancer (You can be my private)
You, you can by my, you can be my private

Now I'm feelin' real good, takin' my time, she's on me grindin' tryna get low
Got bottles everywhere, but somethin' in the air, let's make the world go slow
And how you put it on me make me wanna scream out, "Whoa, whoa, whoa"
(Bring it back) Got shorty by my side headed to the ride I'm like, "Let's get this started"
'Cause you know what's on my mind, girl I'm being honest, yeah

You can by my private dancer (Private dancer)
You can by my private dancer (You can by my private dancer)
(Now) you, you can by my, you can be my private

Used to, pressure, ridin', Mrs. Private Dancer
Answer, I'm callin', I'm goin' all in
This, this feeling's foreign
These other chicks is borin'
They talking, I'm yawnin', I'm snorin', huh
(Bring it back)

Like you, like me, excite me, slightly
You might be, my wifey, and do this for me daily
Nightly, beside me
I'll show you all the right things
Your man so sick you need a IV

You got a question, girl I got the answer (Girl I got your answer, yeah)
You can be my private dancer (You can be my private, girl)
You can be my private dancer (You can by my private dancer)
You, you can by my, you can be my private

You can be my private
You can be my private dancer
