Heyyyy! Thanks for having me. Today I’ve actually been stuck at home customising a bunch of merch for our final show of the year; I think the bleaching is sending me a bit mad, aha.
It’s been an incredible journey. Daisy Brain has only been a thing for just over a year, and we’ve already gone out on several tours, released two EPs, and I can already feel this huge intense support network of fans growing. Never in my life have I ever imagined being stopped on the street for a picture; it’s a lot to get used to.
It changes every time; sometimes, I’ll start writing a tune on an acoustic and start arranging music around it, and sometimes (to be honest, most times) it starts with an instrumental I’ll then write a song on top of.
I write a lot about myself and my experiences. I’ve always wanted to make a song that starts out a bit more like a fairytale where I’m telling someone else’s story, but I’ve always struggled with that. I find it a lot easier to speak about the truth and the people that surround me.
As much as the music isn’t sometimes, I’m pretty chill, I guess? I’m not much of an extrovert, which surprises people.
It’s a form of escapism, a source of happiness, and an outlet I’ve always needed. It’s my life, my hobby and now work. I’m extremely lucky and privileged that I get to do it every day.
Lots and lots of tours, lots and lots of music!
If you could check off one thing on your bucket list next year, what would it be?
America. I want to tour America.

I’m dead excited for Paramore’s new album, and I’m desperate to see them live.
What other new acts should we be keeping an eye on?
We are touring with a band called swim school at the moment, they are all gems, and the music is sick! Well buzzed for them.
Is there anything else we should know?
Keep an eye on hidden gems and easter eggs. The band and I have been working so hard to make the next few releases super special.
