Shawn Bosco Fernandes is a Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, and television personality better known by his stage name Shawn Desman. Universal Music Canada signed him. Shawn Desman participated in numerous talent shows and activities while attending St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School in Toronto. Shawn Fernandes performed as a dancer in the Boomtang Boys' "Squeezetoy" music video in 1998. Before going by Desman, he made a few recordings in English and Portuguese under his true name Shawn Fernandes. According to his own account, he chose the name Desman as a result of his friends calling him "Dez, man" when he was younger, giving rise to his creative alias Desman. Shook, "Spread My Wings," and "Get Ready," three top ten hits on the Canadian charts, were included on his self-titled breakthrough album from 2002. Later, the record received a gold certification in Canada. The song "Spread My Wings," which is featured on the record, is a rendition by the unreleased male group Vega, featuring Chilli from TLC. Back for More, his follow-up album, won a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording and featured the number-one smash song "Let's Go." His 2010 album Fresh earned him two gold singles, one platinum single, the Much Music Video Award for Video of the Year, the Stylus Award for Canadian Dance/Pop Song of the Year, and the SOCAN Number 1 Award for Electric/Night Like This. YTV's The Next Star contestants Brock Zanrosso and Parker Schmidt both had songs produced by Shawn Desman: "It Might Be You" for Parker Schmidt in 2011 and "One More First Chance" for Brock Zanrosso in 2009. Shawn Desman is also a producer who has collaborated with a variety of artists, producing hit singles for Nick Carter, Kreesha Turner, Keshia Chanté, and Danny Fernandes..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking SYML to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like SYML in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking SYML or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
SYML's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking SYML for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book SYML, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing SYML. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate SYML booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book SYML for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final SYML booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will SYML charge for an event. An example fee to book SYML is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the SYML agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The SYML manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book SYML for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the SYML agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book SYML, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the SYML booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for SYML, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
