Daisy Tyler is a Los Angeles–based artist who originally grew up in the Bay Area, and music has been part of her life for as long as she can remember. While the passion was always there, it wasn’t until five years ago that she made the decision to step into her own as an artist and begin releasing music. That choice marked the beginning of a journey rooted in self-expression, honesty, and emotional clarity.
Growing up, Tyler found inspiration in artists who wore their truth openly. Kelly Clarkson stood out early on, not just for her voice, but for her confidence and her ability to be unapologetically herself. Over time, that inspiration expanded to include the many women shaping the industry, whose fearlessness and individuality continue to influence Tyler as she develops her own sound and identity.
Her music lives in an intimate space, feeling less like a performance and more like an open journal. Blending elements of pop and R&B, Tyler leans into soft melodies and lyrics that are raw, reflective, and deeply personal. Much of that vulnerability comes from her creative process, which often begins alone in her studio with just a piano. From there, she brings her ideas to her producers, collaborating to add depth, texture, and life to the foundation she’s already built.
As a kid, Tyler spent most of her time at home, tucked away in her room, writing songs or putting on concerts for herself. In many ways, that hasn’t changed. What once felt like childhood imagination has evolved into a focused craft, but the heart of it remains the same: creating music as a form of release and self-discovery.
Her latest release, Butterfly, which dropped last week, captures that evolution perfectly. The song reflects on a love you believe only exists through another person, only to realize it was within you all along. It’s a quiet but powerful reminder of growth, self-worth, and transformation.
Tyler is currently finishing her first-ever EP, with more music already in motion. She plans to release the project soon, followed by another body of work later in the year, continuing to build a catalog that feels honest and intentional.
She also makes it a point to acknowledge the people who have supported her along the way, including her mother, her producers Marcus, B. Hooks, Prod. Sakboy, and Jihoon Bae, as well as her engineer Johnny Gibson and Vinnie Castaldo, the owner of Tone Factory, the studio where much of her music has come to life.
