Through acting, there's such a special connection between the performer and the viewer that cuts deeper than any emotional or physical connection possibly can. There's always a huge responsibility when tackling a role, but especially when portraying such a vulnerable character on screen. You don't want to overdramatize; rather, you truly want to show the authentic pain the character is experiencing through both your words and actions. I was beyond honored to be cast in such an important role in an even more important story. Acting has always been special to me because I think there's something so magical about being able to portray and fully embody a character. You not only morph into a character, but you become that character through your words and actions, either on screen or on stage. Acting and music allow me to capture moments in time and emotions both on screen and in the studio. They both offer an abundance of creativity for me" Daisy shares.

"Just having music out for the world to hear is thrilling to me. It's like a piece of work that I created, and that feels really fulfilling as an artist. I feel like every artist's dream is to have people connect to their music, so being able to do that feels almost ethereal. I always write lyrics as honestly and truthfully as I can. I personally feel like there's no purpose to songwriting if you aren't being authentic to yourself and your work. A lot of my music is very bold and confident in a way. Just being a teenage girl who can write strong pieces of music for herself and for others feels so powerful to me. It's not something we see very often from women in the entertainment industry anymore, but it's a stance that brings a lot of people together through shared pain and similar experiences. I feel like people always need to be reminded of their worth and value, and I'm willing to be that reminder through the passion and love I have for music. That being said, I write and sing almost all types and genres of music, but I make sure whatever I create has an important message to it. Songwriting is a very therapeutic experience for me. It allows me an outlet to be vulnerable and express everything I'm feeling. I mainly write songs when words just aren't enough anymore. Often times, I don't even realize what I'm feeling until I start writing and a song just flows out of me. Songwriting brings me so much peace" the Dallas, Texas based singer-songwriter-actress shares.

Daisy is an advocate for bullying and domestic abuse. "I just want to say to anyone out there that's being bullied for who they are, that you should feel special. People bully others out of their own insecurities because they can see the potential you have, which makes them feel intimidated. They'll try and say anything they can to stop you before it's too late. I wish someone would have told me that back then. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew exactly who I wanted to be one day. I spent countless hours acting, singing, songwriting, and dancing just dreaming of accomplishing such great feats in my career. I had a dream, and it was a dream so big that I wasn't going to let anyone or anything stop me from achieving it. We need to be supporting each other rather than putting each other down."

Her passion and love for performing grows stronger every day. "I'm still developing and growing as a performing artist and as an overall person. I'll always keep learning and improving my craft. I'm just very grateful to be able to do what I love to do for a living. It's something I'll never take for granted."
