"Daisey has a set of pipes on her gilded in the most polished of gold. Batsauce was just… I mean innovation was like word of the week with this man."

"Daisey hits music sideways with self expression, a dope voice and the talent to back it up."

"Performing solo, as part of the duo Heavenly Noise with husband Britt (aka Batsauce), or a third of Smile Rays, Traynham has a trademark voice that comes off both soulful and playful simultaneously. It’s one that perfectly matches the deep but free-spirited life she lives."

"It’s a perfect mesh of old school and new millennium, like if Billie Holiday and Macy Gray were to collab."

Bio
Lady daisey's jazzy underground r'n'b lends itself perfectly to low-slung hip-hop. And she can sing. Moving effortlessly from husky breathiness to intense, soaring soulfulness, hers is a voice that could seriously unsettle the current crop of hip-hop soul divas.

// BIO
Lady Daisey has rocked venues around the globe - from small smokey clubs to massive hip hop festivals - her message is one of love and inspiration, soulfully presented over head noddin Batsauce beats. Singing since she was 5, Lady Daisey has developed a playful powerhouse style thats sure to grab the attention and steal the hearts of everyone within ears reach.
Daisey was born in Brooklyn, NY, and grew up on the road, touring the U.S. with her parents band. She started singing with them as soon as she could hold the mic, putting her own twist on Top 40 cover artists, such as Michael Jackson, Sister Sledge, Cindy Lauper and Prince. The seed was planted she was meant to be on stage.
As much as Lady Daisey travels the globe, shes learned to keep life simple and travel light. The most important things are weightless - love, life, music, inspiration, peace - all of which she keeps in her pocket (when shes not wearing it on her sleeve)
Sharing her unique vision with an even more unique voice, Lady Daiseys solo debut is filled with a sense of adventure, passionately singing about her experience as a woman, a traveler, a survivor, an optimist, a dreamer all over hip-hop infused soul music.
Its like sunshine for your soul
After meeting the love of her life on stage (Batsauce - husband and producer) it seemed only natural to pack their bags and hit the road. With a studio small enough to fit in a backpack, they have written and recorded this album, all while bouncing around the States, Europe and Asia.
Both, Lady Daisey and Batsauce, are also part of the Smile Rays (Rawkus/6-Hole/Jakarta/Subcontact) along with Paten Locke (aka Therapy) After recording a track with George Clinton and being selected as Rawkus 50 artists, they quickly won the hearts of the indie hip hop scene. Shes opened for Sharon Jones, Mayer Hawthorne, Chali 2na, Roxanne Shante,Bahamadia, the Perceptionists. Shes rocked festivals around the world alongside the Roots, Method Man, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Muse,Souls of Mischief, Zion I.
This raised the bar and now its time for Lady Daisey to share her songs with the world. She does just that with her debut solo album In My Pocket
