Daisy Chapman

Description: BIOG "Shameless Winter" is released and distributed in the UK by Folkwit Records www.folkwit.biz and by Songs & Whispers in Europe. Daisy has proved herself as a talented and shrewd songwriter in demand. Two albums have been recorded by renowned producer Ali Chant at Toybox Studios (PJ Harvey, Gruff Rhys, Giant Sand, Seasick Steve) including her latest release, “Shameless Winter”. Daisy’s powerful vocals have been used by the likes of John Parish, for his film work, as well as a handful of TV session work. Her piano style and versatility was noticed by UK prog rockers Crippled Black Phoenix (Mascot Records), and for two years Daisy toured as pianist/BVs with the band on tours covering every corner of Europe as well as a short trip to China. Daisy has supported well known artists such as Howe Gelb and Karima Francis as well as booked her own tours in the US and Poland, plus label tours across Germany, twice a year since 2009. Two studio albums followed suit, one of which (The Green Eyed, 2009) won an Independent Music Award which then secured her slots at Britain’s leading festivals Glastonbury, Wychwood and 2000 Trees. ****************************** “Faultless vocals.” Rolling Stone, Germany. “Daisy's fine voice - gossamer-thin or strong and plangent, as required - leading the line. Piano is used beautifully throughout, driving the mood of each song, from beautific calm to feverish, lovelorn despair.” Venue Magazine, Bristol. “Daisy Chapman’s voice is a fine instrument, soaring high above dramatic arrangements.” The Fly, UK. “A stunning blinder.” “Wildly wonderful.” Electric Ghost Magazine, UK. “One E-piano, one voice, one unit. What Daisy does with classical piano ballads is almost a manifestation. Within an hour she developed so much honesty and deep artistic ability that you’d ask yourself why is she not more famous. Sometimes poppish, sometimes engaged, sometimes lovely, and sometimes with classical undertones, the blonde Briton combines those attributes in an astonishing harmonic manner.” Kieler Nachrichten, Germany. “Daisy Chapman deserves more attention otherwise the world doesn’t deserve her brilliant music.” www.lieinthesound/wordpress/com, Germany. "Atmospheric, articulate, and for an acoustic set, strikingly raw and full blooded" Venue Magazine. www.daisychapman.com
