2. He attended Ogun International Montessori Nursery and Primary school, and Abeokuta Grammar School for his secondary education, both in Abeokuta, Ogun State. He graduated from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in 2013, where he studied Water Resources Management and Agrometeorology – also known as Water Engineering.
3. He started writing songs from the age of 11, and met singer JahBless in 2009, who helped him manage his talent. But his music career started professionally in 2013 after his tertiary education, when he came across G-Worldwide Entertainment CEO, Emperor Geezy who had heard a lot about him and proceeded to sign him to his record label.
4. Kiss Daniel released his first official single titled ‘Shoye’ which was produced by Beatburx on 1st May, 2014 on the G-Worldwide Entertainment label. He also released the video a couple of weeks after, which was directed by MEX Film.
5. Having created a platform for himself and his record label, Kiss Daniel teamed up with producer, Dj Coublon to release a follow-up single titled “Woju” which he released on 1st September 2014 . “Woju” is a high-life tune depicting a typical African lady’s response to compliments from a gentleman. The video was also released online and on all music platforms like Youtube, Radio, and TV. It was directed by Adasa Cookey.
6. “Woju” spent eleven weeks on the MTV Base Official Naija Top Ten, including six weeks at the number one spot. This was followed by a remix of “Woju”with Tiwa Savage and Davido, this also lived up to expectations as a much loved hit. It peaked at Number 1 and Number 2 respectively on the MTV Base Official Naija Top 10, the first time that an original song and its remix would peak at the first and second positions on the chart.
7. In May 2015, he released a third follow up single “Laye” on his birthday, followed by a video two weeks later. It was shot in different locations across the East Africa, and was directed by AJE FILMS
8. His stage name “Kiss Daniel” came about while he was in secondary school because of his dimples. If you had dimples in both cheeks, you were called “Kisses.” But because he had in only one, he was called “Kiss”, and the “Daniel” was added to differentiate him from the other Daniels in school.
9. He believes his biggest challenge before his breakthrough was patience. Lacking the financial means, he had to depend only on hard work and lots of patience.
