“It’s so exciting that someone like me, from a tiny town miles away from London, can release such an iconic song after being spotted online,” Daisy said.
“I hope it will inspire other musicians around the country to keep trying, and not let small town mentality or negativity get them down.”
The young performer said negative comments she had received before about her weight made her doubt whether posting the song would be a good idea.
“Social media is pretty vicious sometimes,” she sad.
“You have to expect that there is always going to be some rude comments
“It did give me doubts, especially with Hopelessly Devoted To You. I just didn’t let the comments stop me from doing what I love.”
