Band Members: lady daisey:
singer/songwriter, artist
I grew up in a Winnebego I called home... Raised on the road, Daisey traveled the country with her parents' top-40 cover band. As a child, she was forever surrounded by all things musical and digital. She sang with her parent's band putting her own twist on Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson and Sister Sledge covers. The seed was planted... she was meant to be on stage.
Years later... da*sey picked up the guitar and performed her originals at acoustic open mic nights. Her percussive rythms and odd melodies were the backdrop to songs such as "Fruit" (Heavenly Noise, 2003) and the hook for "Chicken" (Smile Rays, Rawkus, 2007) She played the Jacksonville circuit in a few bands, including Dovetonsil, Afterglow and Little Green Men.
Several MORE years later... She hooked up with Batsauce (Batsauce got BEATS, yo!!) and together and they started Heavenly Noise - a little funk, a little soul and whole lotta love - they were married in 2004.
if you hear beats...
they're Batsauce beats!
And then... da*sey & batsauce hooked up with Therapy (of the AB's , formerly Asamov) and became the Smile Rays , with releases in Japan (Subcontact), Germany (Jakarta Records), the U.S. (6-Hole Records) and Rawkus 50.
And now...? In addition to Heavenly Noise & the Smile Rays, I've been inspired to step out as Lady Daisey and see where the wind carries me...
At the moment...
