Daniel Caesar, born Ashton Dumar Norwill Simmonds on April 5, 1995, is a Canadian singer-songwriter who cultivated his soulful sound in a religious household, even facing brief homelessness at 17 to pursue his musical dreams. After independently releasing EPs like Praise Break (2014), he garnered critical acclaim with his debut studio album, Freudian, in 2017, which earned multiple Grammy Award nominations. Caesar later won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance for "Best Part" from Freudian, and released his sophomore album, Case Study 01, in 2019. His career reached new heights in 2021 by featuring on Justin Bieber's chart-topping single "Peaches," which became his first number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, preceding his third studio album, Never Enough (2023), under Republic Records.
