Meet Daphne Tayo

Growing up in the Swiss Alps, the musical inspiration of 22-year-old composer Daphne Tayo has never strayed far from nature and her environment. From an early age, Daphne's improvised music would capture the sights, sounds, and emotions of everyday experience, often inspired by themes suggested by those closest to her.

Daphne Tayo is one of the most talented composers I have come across in my lifetime.

An innate gift for melody is something one cannot learn and Daphne has it in abundance.

Her music is powerful and always creates pictures in one's mind, as the best of music should. The world she depicts in her music is colourful and always fascinating,

much like the soundtrack to one's life.

Daphne is an exceptional young woman and a composer full of talent, imagination, heart, curiosity and enthusiasm. All of these qualities are mirrored in her works and I can’t wait to see how she develops. I’m sure she will surprise us all!
