Emerging from the South Coast of NSW, Daisy Pring is the next Pop/Rnb sensation. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Tate Mcrae, Victoria Monet and SZA and growing up belting iconic pop ballads by Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Ariana Grande, Daisy has the ultimate power package. Off the back of a string of stunning and well-received singles, which allowed her to establish a space for herself in the scene so far, her debut EP ‘Treading Water’ Daisy has entertained and impacted crowds along the Illawarra and Sydney surrounds. She is no stranger to the stage, performing at venues such as Qudos Bank Arena at the age of 15, her show high energy and full of soaring top notes. The EP has received praise from national radio stations such as Triple J, Nova FM and the Hot Hits and has a sense of vulnerability that resonates with her audience, proving so at her sold out EP launch in Wollongong in 2025, followed by a successful interstate tour. Daisy was recently awarded 2nd prize in the 'Diana Torossian Emerging Songwriter Award' by APRA and was a part of the first SongHubs Academy Program in Sydney in 2025. Her track Treading Water was a top 50 finalist in the Vanda & Young global songwriting competition.
