Johnny Ikon has learned exclusively of secret discussions already taking place behind the scenes to offer 'X Factor' semi-finalist Danyl Johnson a record deal at Simon Cowell's firm.

In between running to various interviews yesterday, Danyl received a call from the singing contest supremo telling him: "Don't worry, we'll sit down and talk. You will record an album."

My source, who works for the Sony Music Group that Simon's Simco label belongs to, says that the plan is for Danyl to sign either with Simon's label or to another offshoot of the label.

I'm so glad to hear this news!!! I wonder what kind of music he'll be recording for this album?
