Good Afternoon, My name is Daisy Close. I am a performer in the DFW area and would like to share my story with NBCDFW. I have been performing, singing, and songwriting for over 10 years now and over the years I have learned the many essential skills it takes to be a performer. I currently work at Six Flags Over Texas and would like to share my journey towards becoming a professional performer as well as the struggles I have had to overcome to get where I am today. I have noticed many artists struggling to find hope through these hard times and I hope my story can inspire many artists to continue to keep pushing and working hard towards achieving their dreams. I am very passionate about my job and would like to advocate for the next generation of performers in Texas. Daisy Close
