CAESAR

Caesar's voice is a masterpiece - a rich baritone that flows smoothly, captivating listeners with every note. His delivery is nothing short of legendary, reminiscent of the great Nat King Cole. As soon as anyone hears Caesar’s smooth baritone vocals and debonair delivery, listeners instantly recall Cole. CBS News Radio said, “That's Caesar whose singing brings back Nat King Cole" while the Screen Actors Guild enthused “Caesars' smooth velvet voice has often been compared to Nat King Cole's, but he has his own interpretation and style that compares to no one, but is essentially and superbly…Caesar.”

 

August 2021 Caesar was diagnosed with Cancer, his Doctors told him that he could lose his voice and hearing during his 36 radiation treatments to his head and neck and five cycles of chemotherapy. Caesar remained optimistic, smiled focused on music and asked the Dr. Clark if he could make sure he has him ready for his February 24th performance. Caesar headlined at the Kennedy Center February 24, 2022, with the Symphony Orchestra, 28 days after his last radiation treatment, January 4, 2022. He is now Cancer free. I have a testimony of Perseverance. “God has blessed me to continue to share my gift with the world and I am truly thankful.” - Caesar
