Growing up in Chicago, Caesar and his father spent hours together every Saturday in the basement listening to albums by the great baritone singers. Around ten years-old at the time, Caesar’s “education” came from those vinyl LP listening sessions, “studying” under such masters as Joe Williams, Billy Eckstine, Arthur Prysock, Brook Benton and Nat King Cole. Father and son didn’t talk much; they mostly just listened. Like these classic vocalists themselves, Caesar’s father always wore a crisp suit and carried himself with class and high esteem. Impression made.
As soon as anyone hears Caesar’s smooth 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.”
Caesar has shared the stage or recorded with Herbie Hancock, Al Jarreau, Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Lou Rawls, Deborah Cox, Gerald Albright, Lalah Hathaway, Rick Braun and Ronnie Laws, just to name a few.
Whether accompanied by a big band, orchestra or sparse acoustic guitar or piano instrumentation, Caesar’s vocals stand front and center, powerfully delivered with poise, elegance and grace. He sings in five languages, which he aims to do at performing arts centers around the world.
