Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Daniel sang in his father’s church congregation and grew up listening to gospel and soul. He left home at 17 and began pursuing music, connecting with producers Jordan Evans and Matthew Burnett. His independent EPs Praise Break (2014) and Pilgrim’s Paradise (2015) introduced his voice.
Finding his audience.
Freudian arrived in 2017 with “Get You,” featuring Kali Uchis, and “Best Part,” his duet with H.E.R. The debut earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, and “Best Part” won Best R&B Performance in 2019. CASE STUDY 01 followed in 2019; in 2021 he joined Justin Bieber and Giveon on the No. 1 hit “Peaches.”
The next chapters.
NEVER ENOUGH followed in 2023. He later contributed writing and vocals to Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA and returned to work with Evans, Burnett and Mustafa on Son Of Spergy. The 2025 album turns toward family, faith and reconciliation, with his father singing on “Baby Blue.”
