Daisy is an online phenomenon, and rising singer-songwriter from Cornwall who performed for world leaders at the G7 in her home county in 2021. Delving into memories of friendships gone by, and relationships which dwindle into non-existence, Sudden Death is Daisy’s personal take on complicated friendships, drawn from her own experiences. The lyrics, “Thought you were a tattoo on my arm”, vividly bring to life visions of friends who become strangers in the blink of an eye, and how the end of these important, and fragile relationships can fall apart, feeling like sudden death.
Daisy explains, “I was inspired by a lot of changes in my life at a particular time - I was meeting new people, making new friends and a lot of my old friends were moving to new cities and it made me nostalgic about the ups and downs of past relationships. Sudden Death is a song about fragile relationships I have experienced and how friends can turn to strangers all too quickly. It’s both powerful and emotional and is one of my personal favourites!”
Written by Daisy, alongside Joel Baker, the pair first met over Zoom and began writing together. Once Sudden Death was complete, they met and recorded together between Cornwall and London. Daisy will also release a new video for Sudden Death, which she created with the help of her friend Emily Marcovecchio. Daisy said, “We recorded on a sunny (but absolutely freezing) day in Cornwall. My favourite part is the stunning picnic set up with me and my 'friend'. The beautiful BFF cake, which is also featured in the artwork was made by my Mum!”
At 23 years old, Daisy has been releasing music independently since 2018, since becoming a viral sensation when she released her mesmerising cover of ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You’ on YouTube in 2016, rapidly garnering millions of views. Her 2018 cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Bellyache’ caught the attention of Billie herself, who said, “she has the kind of voice you just want to listen to. Sing me to sleep, Daisy.” This year is gearing up to be another exciting one for Daisy who’s in Nashville this month writing even more new material. Daisy is also lined up for Cornwall’s Rock Oyster Festival which takes place on the Camel Estuary from 29-31 July.
