Daniel Caesar Returns to NPR for First Tiny Desk Performance in 8 Years

The Canadian-born singer-songwriter brought a 12-piece choir for his five-song set, focused on songs from his 2025 album, Son of Spergy.

Daniel Caesar has returned to NPR’s Tiny Desk.

Back in 2018, the Canadian singer-songwriter performed a string of songs for the popular performance series, hot on the heels of his acclaimed debut album, Freudian. Despite his three-song set, Caesar left the room — and the audience at home — in awe of his natural talent and charm. His debut remains one of the 15 most-viewed sets on YouTube.
