Daniel Baron

Daniel Baron is a South African platinum-selling, award-winning and chart-topping singer, songwriter, record producer and multi-instrumentalist. The 7x SAMA-nominated artist-producer has achieved 30 No. 1’s among hits with over 20 million streams. Named by People Magazine as “One of the greatest South African pop stars”, and in 2017 was a mentor on The Voice South Africa.

Known for his constantly evolving sound and bold cross-genre antics, Baron’s 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 & toured the UK. He has independently released four 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 &amp; produced for many South African artists, namely <a href="spotify:artist:0UdSjb6EeZYK8LGxHcgkkP" data-name="Euphonik">Euphonik</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3Px6IenueysHsgCQf9xFVr" data-name="Kwesta">Kwesta</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6da0IfHaN561OqJxQ3JyKh" data-name="Sketchy Bongo">Sketchy Bongo</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:05EUuIFVDSu6ZquGa7wSny" data-name="Pascal &amp; Pearce">Pascal &amp; Pearce</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:07eoBavD6fEwbWUaHTcO3h" data-name="Jamie-Lee Sexton">Jamie-Lee Sexton</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4IMxU8Ls3ifpIaWIuzedvT" data-name="Proverb">Proverb</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6nRQeDkTdG7sPoEnwnADJ7" data-name="Royal K">Royal K</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2whiBQzZUS6fMkfOCqzXWS" data-name="Mark Stent">Mark Stent</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:486zoG8VpR4C1iQRLG4ywt" data-name="ADAM">ADAM</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4eNzQCNP9F9UKbglvPkDdH" data-name="Mandoza">Mandoza</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:72YhLvw3aIVCUSjL6G8qSf" data-name="Cara Frew">Cara Frew</a> &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:4AOwAzjHs4wresTwXK4mG6" data-name="Cindy Alter">Cindy Alter</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:1Y9R6sacgLlWFGYFGK9M0P" data-name="Clout">Clout</a>.

A humble disposition, rockstar stage-presence and gravity defying vocals that deliver profoundly crafted songs about love, loss, faith and hope have all been factors in cementing him as one of South Africa’s iconic music figures.
