Daniel "Danny" Fernandes (born September 16, 1985)[1] is a Canadian singer and songwriter. He was signed to CP Records from 2008 until January 2014.
Danny Fernandes is of Portuguese descent. He has a younger brother named Jonathan and they are both the younger brothers of Canadian artist Shawn Desman (born Shawn Fernandes). He also is a cousin to another Canadian singer Tyler Medeiros, who signed to Danny's former record label CP records.
At 16, Danny Fernandes won two consecutive Rising Star awards in the annual CNE dance contest held at Cherrytree Public School located in Brampton, Ontario, near Toronto. He became the youngest member of the Toronto Raptors' famed Dance Pak and began to appear regularly as a backup dancer in music videos.
After graduating from High School, Danny started playing showcases at clubs in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, and Austria), Fernandes signed with the Canadian CP Records (Capital Prophet Records) and released his debut album Intro. Danny went out on tour across Canada as the opening act for Akon and Sean Kingston.
On October 14, 2008, CP Records released "Curious", featuring Juelz Santana, the first of four singles from Intro. "Curious" was followed by "Private Dancer", featuring Belly; "Never Again"; and "Fantasy", the most successful of the four, peaking at Number 25 on the Canadian Hot 100 and spending 14 weeks on Canadian radio.
Fernandes was also a judge on the TV show Karaoke Star Jr. alongside Tara Oram.
Fernandes's second album, AutomaticLUV, was released by CP Records on November 2, 2010, with the first single called "Automatic" featuring Belly. The second single off the album was called "Take Me Away" and the third "Hit Me Up" which once again featured Belly and Josh Ramsay from the Canadian band Marianas Trench. The single reached Number 22 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 charts and the video single reached Number 1 on the MuchMusic Countdown.
He released his third studio album, Breathe Again on August 27, 2013 on CP Records. The album was preceded by the singles "Fly Again (Broken Wings)" and "Come Back Down" the video single reached No. 1 on the MuchMusic Countdown.
Since the release of his third album, Fernandes has still continued to work on new music. In 2015, he released a single called "Gogo" featuring Kevin McCall. In 2016, he released a collaborative single with Tom-E called "Dear Life" featuring iSH. The single was certified Gold by Music Canada. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
What makes you different and unique? How do you stand out from the crowd?
I don't know that I do stand out from the crowd. When I am with the crowd it is usually because we have so much in common. Now when I'm alone and doing the stuff that only I find entertaining, that's when I would stand out in the crowd . . . if there were one.
We love exploring the techniques and tricks on display in the “flippin’ awesome” artwork from our different publications. A couple of especially eye-catching pieces that we’ve been getting questions about recently are the two cards that were created using the BBQ Boss Stamp + Thin Cuts, in the July–September catalog.
(The outlined shapes in this image represent the shapes that can be cut with the Thin Cuts metal dies.)
Several techniques went into creating these two cards, a few simpler than others. We will go through each of them, step-by-step, so you can feel confident in replicating our cards or applying these techniques to other projects.
The first thing to notice on this Thank You card is its layers. We didn’t stamp those “hot stuff” sausage links directly onto the card base, but rather on a smaller piece of White Daisy cardstock that we then attached on top of two other cardstock pieces. Covering the base with two colored cardstock pieces, one smaller than the other, creates a frame to contain all of the excitement of what is happening in the center of the card. It also helps create visual balance.
One way to tell if something is visually balanced or not is to simply look at it. In this case, the color Sapphire included in the frame, the sentiment base, and as the Exclusive Inks™ color used to stamp the sentiment, lends to this sense of balance. Had we only used Sapphire on the sentiment, the card wouldn’t look quite complete. Adding those minor additions of Sapphire, through the frame, the sentiment banner, and even the enamel star, makes it feel more complete—and since art is subjective, feelings definitely count!
A rule of thumb we have shared before is to count your elements and stick to the numbers 3 and 5. Odd numbers are just more visually satisfying when considering accents and embellishments, which is why we used Sapphire in three places: the frame, the sentiment, and the star.
Next, let’s talk about how we created our own patterned paper on that top White Daisy cardstock layer by “random” stamping the sausage image throughout. When random stamping, you don’t have to only stamp the image upright! Turn the stamp upside down, sideways, and on random angles to create an interesting and playful pattern. Stamp some of the images off the edge, even, to make the pattern look like it continues into a space you cannot see.
This “random” stamping technique, however, isn’t as random as the name implies. While you may be creating a pattern that isn’t perfectly uniform, there is still some uniformity that keeps the “random” from being just plain chaos!
For starters, at least in this case, the images are stamped with approximately the same distance between them and in the same ink color and opacity. Be consistent with your “randomness,” in order to preserve a sense of pattern. That means that if you’re stamping with different colors or in different opacities (generational stamping) or your images are overlapping, or whatever it is that you’re bringing to the table, then continue to replicate those ideas through the piece.
We’ll wrap up talking about this super cute card by focusing on all of the goodness happening around the sentiment.
As you create a card, we suggest making your different elements separately and then playing with placement to see if you really like where your creation is going before attaching anything. You may notice that something may be missing or that you have too much of another thing. It is much easier to remove or add pieces when none of the things are attached yet.
While taking this approach with this card, we noticed that it needed something more to bring the focus to the sentiment. As a result, we added two strips of cardstock (Lemonade and Nectarine) behind our sentiment banner. The cross section of these cardstock strips marks the spot of where your eyes will naturally look because of the additional visual noise they create. Your eyes will then rest on the white space surrounding the sentiment.
With your sharp eyes, you likely noticed that our fire was stamped in more than one color, too. To learn this neat stamping technique and the promised paper piecing technique, follow along with Close To My Heart’s Creative Arts Manager, Karen Pedersen, in the video below, where she recreates the gorgeous Licensed to Grill card.
When
customers say, "I'd like that wonderful Watkins Vanilla,"
they're almost always asking for All Natural Original Gourmet Baking
Vanilla.
Don't be confused. This is the same double-strength formula
that has been the company's best selling vanilla product for decades.
And it still has the extra rich flavor that won't bake out or freeze
out.
The official name of the product changed to Baking Vanilla more
than five years ago, because calling it "double strength" confused
people as to how much they should use in their recipes. So, it just got a
new name, and Watkins has also improved it by making it all
natural. There's no artificial colors or flavors.
And, just like it's been for decades, this product is still made with Watkins Pure Vanilla Extract as an important ingredient.
You will always want to have an extra bottle
of Watkins Baking Vanilla on hand. And, of course, with it being 20%
off this month (July 2022) it's a great time to order some.
Please note . . . this is about the voting process and current issues -- not about politicians or political parties. Thank you.
What one issue is the most important to you when it comes to voting for your representatives?
I have to say my biggest concern or issue is low voter turnouts. People seem to bitch and complain about governments but when they have the opportunity to voice their concerns and effect change they just don't. They just don't vote. I cannot understand it. I think all active voters should get a pin that says "I voted so I can complain. Where's your pin?" The turnout for the last very boisterously and sometimes viciously debated local municipal election was 35%. SERIOUSLY!?!?!?
Have you ever had someone dislike you or try to harm you for no reason?
Yes, I actually have had that happen to me but because innocent people could be hurt if I posted the actual event I have to be very vague. Someone tried to take something from me that was very important to me. That person did not succeed.
Grab a copy of this book for an excellent and rather eccentric read. Eccentric because that is the perfect description for the wildly unusual characters. Doll-baby is the novel of some very flawed people living their lives during the civil rights era, the 1960s, in New Orleans. I loved each of the characters on their own merit . . . okay maybe not Ibby's mother so much. The characters are carefully crafted to full effect for a novel which will tickle your funny bone and warm the cockles of your heart. Mostly it is about finding family even when they aren't related. An excellent read!
I have many answers for this question. Some of the answers depend on who you are telling because some people wouldn't think these things are odd at all.
I love unagi (barbecue eel), sushi, peanut butter and bologna sandwiches, hummus, ground cherries, tofu . . . and now I apparently like pickled herring, dark rum and Marmite.
Do you find any of these weird? What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
