About Us
Daisy Chapman. Daisy Chapman is a BBC Introducing favourite. Daisy is an incredibly well-travelled pianist and vocalist who draws influences from the anti-folk world. It's hard to pinpoint Daisy's unique style, but think Sandy Denny meets Regina Spektor and you're close. 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. 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 (ex CBP members, plus At The Gates, Ison, Louise Lemon) but her sound is very much her own. Prepare to be moved.
She has played over 1,000 live concerts, including festivals such as Glastonbury, Wychwood, 2000 Trees and Breminale (Germany). 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.
