Daniel Baron is a South African platinum selling, award-winning and chart-topping singer, songwriter, record producer and multi-instrumentalist. He has achieved 9 number-one’s among a string of over 20 Top 40 chart hits throughout Southern Africa. In 2016 People Magazine named him “One of the greatest South African pop stars”, and in 2017 he was a mentor on The Voice South Africa.
Known for his constantly evolving sound and bold cross-genre antics, Baron’s monumental success has stemmed from pop-rock anthems such as ‘So Much More’ (DSTV theme song) to the dance-floor chart-crusher ‘Children Of The Sun’, which remains one of the biggest hits to come out of South Africa. In 2013 he opened for Bon Jovi to a crowd of 65000 people at FNB Stadium in JHB, and that same year won a Wawela Award for Best Male Artist and toured the UK. He has independently released three full-length studio albums, all to critical acclaim.
Baron’s prolific songwriting and super-producer abilities have led him to become very sought-after behind-the-scenes. He has written, produced & collaborated with many South African artists, namely Euphonik, Kwesta, Sketchy Bongo, Pascal & Pearce, Proverb, Royal K, Mark Stent, ADAM, Mandoza and Cindy Alter of Clout.
A humble disposition combined with a captivating stage-presence and gravity defying vocals that deliver profoundly crafted songs about love, pain, faith and hope have all been factors in cementing him as one of South Africa’s iconic music figures.
