DAISY WORLD - Interview

COSMOS.PRESS

Tell us a bit about Daisy World.

DAISY WORLD

I am a girl, I'm from Los Angeles, I've been making music since I was a baby. I used to be in a band. I also make clothes. I love painting.

COSMOS.PRESS

I noticed from your fashion, it has a lot of warm tones and colors.

DAISY WORLD

I feel like I am really sensitive to colours. I really love bright reds, bright oranges, and bright yellows. I've been using the same pallet of colours since I was born. They're just the one's that call to me the most.

COSMOS.PRESS

Looking at your art direction it seems like you are a very 'warm' person as well. I feel like it radiates with those colours.

DAISY WORLD

Yeah totally.

COSMOS.PRESS

You've done a lot of one-off-pieces - tell us a bit about your process of making these pieces.

DAISY WORLD

I think the thing I love the most is it becomes so specific for the person. I love that I get to make something that fits them perfectly, is their dream pants, or something that they've always wanted.

It's taking elements of them + myself and combining them together.

COSMOS.PRESS

It's a transformative thing where their personality shines through, with your take on what their personality.

DAISY WORLD

Completely. (...) I feel like it pushes my creativity also because now I am like oh s*** I can draw an eagle head.

COSMOS.PRESS

A lot of the shapes you use are stars and hearts. Can you tell us a bit about that?

DAISY WORLD

I just love stars. I am trying to claim stars as my shape. I have 8 stars tattooed on my body.

COSMOS.PRESS

Going on to your music, you were featured on Tyler the Creator's - Call Me If You Get Lost.

Can you tell us a bit about that?

DAISY WORLD

Well, it was awesome.

I've always been such a huge fan. He just texted me one day and said I have a song I'd like to hear your voice on. I ultimately convinced myself I was going to be a part of a 100-person choir.

I was like don't get too excited, don't get too excited you're going to be in a choir of people. I ended up going to the studio just us, it was such an important experience for me.

I felt so nervous going into it and felt like I needed to sing everything perfectly. While we were in the studio I was just improvising. The bridge was written purely off just me improvising on a loop for 10 mins.

I learned that I don't need to be perfect to be good. All these weird parts of my voice that I shied away from using, are appreciated by other people.

That was really pivotal for me.

COSMOS.PRESS

That's what I think is so beautiful about art - there's no way to teach it. All the formal elements are just an outline, and when you take away those elements (break the rules), that's when your own personality shines through.

It's cool you had an experience like that.

DAISY WORLD

Completely.

I went to music school for a year and they were teaching me theory/whatever - it ruined my songwriting for a while. I was trying to do things in the confines of music.

It took me a while after I left to relearn how to not think about those things. I'm definitely not a rules person, especially in art.

Why would you try to teach me to make art? That seems crazy to me.

COSMOS.PRESS

It's an impossible feat. I think it's the worst interview question you can ask is 'how are you creative' or 'how do you make art'?

DAISY WORLD

it's like ummm, it just is.

COSMOS.PRESS

Tell us a bit about the track 'UR SOGGY.'

DAISY WORLD

That was the first single I put out. It was me creating something outside of my creative comfort zone. I was trying to make a pop song.

That song was fun, just a little silly diss track.

COSMOS.PRESS

What's next for Daisy World?

DAISY WORLD

I'm already working on another album; I'd love to do more collaborations, and I'd love to do more fashion things incorporated with music.

Touring next year - a lot of shows next year.
