Singer, songwriter, pianist and string arranger Daisy Chapman is an incredibly well-travelled musician who draws influences from both the anti-folk and classical world. It’s hard to pinpoint Daisy’s unique style, but think Neil Hannon meets Regina Spektor and you're close. Live, every song harbours a dark story of love, lust and loss told through her exquisite voice with Sue Lord on violin bringing the performance to harmonious ending every time.
Her newest recorded work (‘She Took Flight’) has been a long time coming, but she’s focussed on writing for string quartet making her sound richer than ever. This music is as warm and delicate as it is hard hitting and cinematic with a full string section, percussion and double bass. We can still expect detailed story-telling and humour in the songwriting and lyrics, this time focusing on home, family life and living as a woman in the 2020s.
Daisy has performed as part of Crippled Black Phoenix (members of Portishead and Hawkwind) and is also lead vocalist for new prog outfit Venus Principle - dubbed 'Album of the Year' 2022 by Eclipsed Magazine but her sound is very much her own. Prepare to be moved.
She has played extensively across the world, including festivals such as Glastonbury, 2000 Trees and Breminale (Germany) and as far as Migration Festival in Taiwan. In 2015 Daisy toured across Europe with The Songbirds Collective - 4 female acts interweaved into eachother's songs for a 2 hour set across 8 countries. Their last tour was in 2016 , just 8 weeks before Daisy gave birth to her daughter. Her distinctive voice has also been used as backing vocals for some well known artists but what is clearly evident about Daisy is that she is a true professional and an experienced artist.
