He graduated from Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, in 2013, with a degree in Water Resources Management and Agrometeorology (Water Engineering).

Music career
Kizz Daniel showed an interest in music from an early age, and was encouraged by his father. He started his music career professionally as Kiss Daniel in 2013 after his tertiary education, when he came across G-Worldwide Entertainment CEO, Festus Ehimare.[citation needed] On his choice of stage name, he said, "I got the name when I was in school. I have a dimple in my cheek and in school, when you had dimples in both cheeks, you were called 'Kisses'. Since I had just one, I was called 'Kiss'. Because there were other Daniels in school, the ladies added 'Kiss' to my first name to tell me apart from the others. So, when I started music I decided to stick with the name."[citation needed]
After being signed to G-Worldwide Entertainment, he released his first official single, “Shoye,” which was produced by Beatburx on May 1, 2014, along with a music video was directed by MEX.[citation needed]
Daniel released his second single, “Woju,” produced by DJ Coublon on September 1, 2014. The video for Woju, released by Adasa Cookey, was shot in Lagos, Nigeria.[citation needed]
Daniel then recorded and released a remix of “Woju” featuring Tiwa Savage and Davido.[citation needed]
In May 2015, Daniel released a third follow up single, “Laye,” on his birthday, along with a video two weeks later which was shot in different locations in the eastern part of Africa and was directed by AJE FILMS.[8]
Kizz Daniel released his first studio album titled New Era on May 14, 2016.[9]

Kizz Daniel has listed acts like Danfo Drivers, Zulezu, Oritse Femi., 2face, 9ice, W4, Wande Coal, Owl City, and Ed Sheeran as musical influences.[citation needed] He lost his father on the 9th of May 2015.[citation needed]
