HE may have been booted off the X Factor but it's not the last we'll hear of Danyl Johnson - as Simon Cowell is eager to sign him up for a record deal.
And other labels are also taking a keen interest in the drama teacher - comparing him to Jamiroquai.
Show judge and Syco music label guru Simon admitted: "Singers like him do not disappear. I would just say, 'Watch this space'."
Danyl, 27 - who is also set to cash in to the tune of £150,000 with personal appearances and the X Factor tour - hopes to have an album out next year.
He said: "I want to have a record out there - that's my dream. I just want to go into the recording studio and work with some great producers, make a good album.
"Because I think that's what we need out there - a really, really, really good album."
