Bio:
Growing up in Toronto's Scarborough with Jamaican and Bajan roots, Daniel Caesar soaked in gospel harmonies from his singer dad, turning those Sunday echoes into the soul-stirring falsettos that define his sound. By his early 20s, he was self-releasing tracks like "Get You" that felt like quiet confessions over warm, hazy beats, pulling hearts with raw takes on love's fragile edges. Albums like Freudian and Case Study layered vulnerability with neo-soul grooves, making him a voice for those late-night doubts we all carry.

Now 30, he's about to drop Son of Spergy tomorrow—his fifth record, a deep dive into fatherhood and self, sparked by chats with his old man that unpack identity's quiet weight. Lead single "Call on Me" hums with that intimate pull, a plea wrapped in soft synths and guest spots like Sampha on "Rain Down," while early reviews call it his boldest yet, turning personal reckonings into something we can all lean on. In a scene chasing flash, Daniel's music stays grounded, like a hand on your shoulder through the ache—hit play when you need that gentle unraveling.
