Daisy Allen taught herself to sing watching free online videos as her family struggled to pay for professional lessons. But her dedication has struck a cord with a certain charming man.
The gifted 13-year-old has been given a £1000 grant by the master of the shimmering guitar, Johnny Marr. The money from the former member of The Smiths and solo star will help pay for formal tuition and stage equipment.
Daisy has managed to carve out a reputation performing in pubs and at charity events in her home city of Salford, and hopes Johnny's gift through the Salford Foundation Trust will help her fulfil a dream of a performing career.
The Trust aims to help young people in the city achieve their potential and Daisy is the third young person that singer and songwriter Johnny has helped out with a grant.
Daisy was still at primary school when she discovered a love of performing which helped her overcome feelings of anxiety and low self-confidence. Her mum Tammi Allen said: “When she is on stage she becomes a different person. Daisy comes alive.”
Daisy started taking singing lessons but her mum, who works for NHS mental health services, was struggling to afford the £90-a-month tuition fees. Using free YouTube tutorials instead, Daisy taught herself how to sing and play the ukulele and has gone on to perform at local community events around Salford under her stage name Dee Dee Allen.
She has also organised charity concerts to raise money for motor neurone disease research after the condition claimed the life of a close relative. Her mum Tammi, 41, added: “Daisy doesn’t really see how talented she is, especially as she has taught herself. But once people hear her they become transfixed.”
