In recent times there has been a surge of female solo artists appearing on the scene, from the likes of Kate Tempest to Lauren Aquilina to Rae Morris to Chloe Howl and so on and so on. This appears to have inspired Daisy Victoria, a powerful indie-grunge solo artist thats certainly making a name for herself via her raw yet melodic sound. After featuring in NME's Radar and recieving airplay from Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, we finally managed to catch up with Daisy. 

1. Who is Daisy Victoria?

Daisy Victoria is I and I am a solo artist.

2. You released your EP, 'Heart Full Of Beef', in March, tell us a little about that?

‘Heart Full Of Beef’ was released in March this year and it’s had a wonderful reception for which I’m extremely grateful. Huw Stephens played the single on his Radio 1 show and Lauren Laverne and Mary-Anne Hobbs, both of BBC6Music, played tracks too. I was also invited to represent BBC Introducing at Latitude this summer on the back of the EP which was super exciting! I'm thrilled by, and extremely grateful for the lovely feedback I've received from people who've listened.

3. Who and what are your biggest inspirations?

I love all kinds of music, it all inspires me. Independent film, and walking too.

4. Who's on your usual playlist?

It''s Bob Dylan and Captain Beefheart majority of the time.

5. What's next for Daisy Victoria?

I have a new EP (‘Nobody Dies’ coming out on November 3rd, and I’ve assembled a 4 piece band to play some live shows in London, amongst a few solo Norwich shows, including supporting Martha Wainwright on 31st October at EPIC Studios which I’m really excited about. I have a couple of videos coming out soon too, to accompany the single and another track from the new EP.

Big thanks to Daisy Victoria for the interview.
