Background

Ashton Dumar Norwill Simmonds, known professionally as Daniel Caesar, was born in Toronto, Ontario on April 5, 1995, to Hollace and Norwill Simmonds. Of Jamaican descent, he was raised in Oshawa and sang in the church choir. His father was a pastor and a gospel singer. In 2012, he left home to pursue a career in music after graduating from high school.

His unique voice, undeniable talent, and impactful songs have set him apart from artists of his generation, thus winning the hearts of music lovers in high and low places. Just two years after leaving home, he released his debut E.P. “Praise Break” in 2014. “Rolling Stone” magazine ranked this album number 19 on the ‘20 Best R&B Albums of 2014’ and his transition to fame began.

His debut studio album “Freudian” was released
