It's so easy to present
Daisy Dee as a "multi-talented" breaking-hearts woman. In fact,
you just need to list all her talents and successes to write down huge
press articles. But what is the key to her success ? Well, this singer,
songwriter, actress, fashion designer, dancer and TV presenter of 27 years
old works a lot ! She works with a 100% concentration at the studio, on
stage, on the "set" and at her design studio in order to meet
the requirements of the fans, of the colleagues and, the hardest task of
all, of herself. She definitely can't be accused of being a little rich
kid whose path to showbiz stardom was paved for her from the cradle. Daisy
Rollocks, aka Daisy Dee, was born in Curacao. Her main activity is
singing. And she's therefore particularly meticulous when it comes to
creating her music. You see, her output over the last few years hasn't
always been to her complete satisfaction, and now she thinks she's figured
out why : "It just doesn't make any sense to create music and all the
time think 'will it sell?' People should only produce music which they
would buy themselves". |

| It is true
that Daisy Dee's former singles received irregular success even if they
are all really good and not outmoded. You probably remember her first
success "I Got U" in 1992. And after, the long road of
".feat Daisy Dee"'s single from Bit Machine "Somebody
Real" with Karens Jones to U 96 "Love Religion" &
Technotronic's last album with Ya Kid K and Black Baron from ARS Belgium.
So as you can see Daisy tried several countries (USA, Italy, Holland,
Belgium) before finding a real and deserved recognition in Germany.
Indeed, in 1996 "Just Jump" was the single that made everything
goes fast in her carrier : European success, presenter of VIVA TV weekly
Dance show "Club Rotation" since September 96 and one of the
major selling artist of Edel
Records Germany. |

| The
right working atmosphere is also extremely important. She is currently working "among
good friends" on new material at the Booya Music Studios, run by her long-term
companion, Toni Cottura (Fun Factory, Nana, N'Sync, Marky Mark, etc.). Their first product
is the single, "Hey You (Open Up Your Mind)", come out on 28 July 1997.
This track reminds one far less of efforts with earlier partners
than of the pop productions of a certain Babyface, who for years has
been among Daisy's personal heroes. |

| With her sassy
raps superimposed on a smooth, swinging R&B beat and cleverly interwoven with a
dangerously catchy hookline, this single will set seriously high standards against which
upcoming releases will be measured (planned are collaborations with Nana, The Free
frontman Charles Simmons and Toni Cottura). The video of "Hey You (Open Up Your
Mind)" was shot in Gotenburg (Germany) on the 24/25 of June 1997 by "Revolver
Music Video". But those who know Daisy also know this: she's not going to dissappoint
anyone. So if you don't know
yet Daisy Dee's singles, have a look at her "music archive", listen to the
samples, and BUY her CDs!
Daisy married Toni Cottura from Fun Factory in October 1997. Congratulations
! Dance is one big family ;-)
In Spring 1998, Daisy appears in the Pappa Bear's video "When The Rain
Begins To Fall", a groovy cover of Jermaine Jackson's '80s single. She is not singing
in it, she is just dancing.
