Daisy Pepper is a session bassist and in Hertfordshire, UK. Confident in performing, recording and touring, Daisy is an experienced and versatile player.
Daisy started her bass guitar journey in 2015 at 14 years old. At her school, a music teacher started a 'bass club', to encourage more girls to get involved with bass guitar. Within a day of playing, Daisy went home and bought her first bass.
After leaving secondary school, Daisy joined Harlow College, where she studied Level 3 Extended Diploma in Music Performance and Production. She flew through the 2 year course, and passed in 2019, all with Distinctions. During this time, she was working part time in a local music shop.
After Daisy left college, she went full time at the music shop, but still had dreams to become a full time musician.
In 2020, Daisy started sharing her musical journey on social media. In September of that year, her cover of Muse's 'Hysteria' went viral on YouTube (1M+ views). Since then, she has gained tens of thousands of followers (Instagram 50k+, YouTube 35k+) and millions of views across various platforms (YouTube 4M+). As a result of the fantastic response, Daisy became a full time session bassist.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, Daisy worked with Ashdown Amps to create promotional content for Ashdown's social media pages. Daisy also worked with RightOn! Straps in early 2023 to create her own unique customised bass guitar straps. In late 2022, Daisy placed a custom bass order with Spector's USA custom shop, in collaboration with MusicLoft in North Carolina. The custom bass was one of the most unique basses that Spector had worked on.
In the beginning of 2023, Daisy joined a band called 'The Exile Club', a Roots, Rock and Blues band. Their debut album 'Chained To Ruins & Rust' released September 2024. Daisy recorded all of the bass tracks with her custom Spector bass.
