Daisy the Great is an American indie band led by singer-songwriters Kelley Dugan and Mina Walker. They rose to prominence with their 2017 debut single "The Record Player Song". Later, a remix of the song called "Record Player" was released in August 2021, with additional verses and production performed by AJR. It went to number 6 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.
As of July 2025, the band has amassed over 820,000 monthly streamers on Spotify. They have released three studio albums.
History Kelley Dugan and Mina Walker met as acting majors at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Dugan is from New York, and Walker grew up in New Orleans. They formed Daisy the Great in 2016, and released their first EP, I've Got a Few Friends & I Wish They Were Mine, in 2018. They released their debut album, I'm Not Getting Any Taller, in January 2019. The single "Record Player" became a hit on TikTok, accumulating over 270 million views.

In May 2026, they released the single, Can I Have a Moment, inspired by the feelings after a breakup, stating that it was “a cry into the ether of wanting to be loved and noticed by someone who once loved you back”. Actor and close friend of the band Jack Haven features in the music video for the single.
Daisy the Great has opened for the Happy Fits, Indigo Girls, Sidney Gish, and Samia, and toured with AJR, Half Alive, The Kooks, and The Vaccines. They have a tour scheduled for 2026.
