[Smells Like News] Danyl Johnson on Rise to Fame: "Pretty Mental"


You've heard him sing.

Now, watch and listen to Danyl Johnson talk about his sudden rise to fame.

The X Factor contestant, who caused Simon Cowell to remark that he put on "the best first audition I have ever heard," appeared on Today this morning.

Asked by Matt Lauer about his rise to fame, Johnson said: "It's been pretty mental," an understatement considering his initial audition has been viewed over one million times on YouTube.

A teacher, Johnson said he was pushed to try out for the British version of American Idol by his school children. As for his long-term music goals?

"I guess my dream is to get an album out there and write songs and really enjoy it."

We wish him the best of luck with that.
