Freshmen Friday's own Olivia Seally brings him out to Toronto for a special night of live performance!

Canadian indie-soul singer & songwriter Daniel Caesar captivates his audience with distinctly smooth vocals tracked over a stunning net-soul palette. Caesar’s innovation is the result of a collage of influences reflective of his musicality - the classic sound of Pink Floyd and the Beatles, combined with his deep gospel background, create a hip hop influenced sound with an invoking feel of rhythm and blues. His style of writing, which draws content and emotion from real life experience, brands Caesar with depth and honesty.

September 2014 sees his first offering “Praise Break” which was named one of the top 20 R&B albums of 2014 by Rolling Stone, as well as the number one Canadian album by Noisey of Vice Magazine, establishing Caesar as one of the most exciting newcomers to the indie music scene.
