Management

Managers of The Year: How Matthew Burnett and Jordan Evans Channeled Daniel Caesar's Creative Ambition Into Global Success

Evans and Burnett, Caesar’s longtime managers, are this year’s Billboard Canada Managers of the Year.

For Jordan Evans and Matthew Burnett, trust and creative freedom are the most important parts of management.

The longtime managers and collaborators of Daniel Caesar have a relationship that goes back to high school. They've been with him as he released his first EPs, broke through with his debut Freudian in 2017, won a Grammy award and embarked on international arena tours. Caesar’s global Son of Spergy arena tour is underway after kicking off in Asia, and it will continue in North America this summer with nine Canadian concerts in seven cities, making it one of the biggest treks within the country.
