Danny, ¿dónde nació Ud?


Explanation:
As I commented before, Leliadoura is right. This seems an informal context.
The one I gave you is formal, but most likely is not the case in your query.

Y tú, ¿de dónde eres, Danny?


Explanation:
It's conversational, casual style. It might be just the way to say it in this case. Anyway, after 30 years or more, I'm still being asked this very question at least 3 times a day.
