As far as Colombians in the mainstream pop world go, Shakira has been the dominant force for a fair amount of years. So it’s about time we had an equally good looking male counterpart come along.

Enter Danny Mercer, a native of Bogota, Colombia, who graduated not that long ago from, um, Columbia University and is now signed to — wait for it — Columbia Records. His debut single “Who Are You Loving Now?” is a nice little slice of reggae-pop that displays Danny’s knack for sparkling melodies as well as his smooth, Bruno Mars-esque tenor. Bonus: He’s not that bad on the eyes, either. (Oh. I already mentioned that, didn’t I…)

Mercer co-produced “Who Are You Loving Now?” with French duo soFLY & Nius (Justin Bieber, Flo Rida), and it serves as the first offering from his upcoming EP.

Watch “Who Are You Loving Now?” above and let us know if you think big things are in store for Danny Mercer.
