How Daniel Caesar uses that range
Head voice does the heavy lifting. The lead tone is feather-light, mixed toward head even in the middle of the range, with gospel harmony instincts underneath: he hears himself as one voice of a stack, which keeps the lead unforced and tuning immaculate. Runs are unhurried, four and five notes, resolved like amen cadences. Record yourself singing a simple line, then stack two harmonies above it and re-sing the lead to sit inside them. Solo-singer loudness is the habit to unlearn here.
