Let it be known, Pre Daily was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. Pre has lived at various locations in the Bronx, but she represents the Bronx River area where she lived during her teenage and most of her adult years. Originally named Pre Sweet after a graffiti artist, she later became Pre Daily after a friend nicknamed her Daily because she produced hot beats on a daily basis. Although Pre is a hip hop artist, jazz played a major role in her life. Her father was a jazz musician who owned a few bars around the city, one being the Pepper and Salt. She fondly remembers going to the live jazz sessions on Thursday nights and riding in his car while listening to jazz on the radio. So how did Pre get involved in hip hop, you ask? Well, let's take it back to 1988 when Pre Daily's hip hop career began.

      During her late teenage years, Pre had a few friends involved in the rap business and they were looking for a female DJ to roll with them. However, Pre had no interest in being a DJ. But Pre fell in love with rapping after a friend wrote her one rhyme with three verses to recite. Following her first experience with rapping, Pre crossed paths with freelance drummer, Richard Harrison who made her first demo tape. At that point, Pre started writing her own rhymes and she's been doing that ever since. Therefore, she refers to herself as a do it yourself type chick. She landed her first gig on the Ron Alexander show in 1988, which she still does today. After working with Harrison for a little while, Pre accumulated about 10-12 songs which she used to market herself to record labels.

      This do it yourself chick held her own with no managers and eventually joined a record label called Zakia 4 th and Broadway home to artists, Eric B and Rakim at the time. Unfortunately, her time with Zakia was short lived due to a few mishaps within the company. Pre asked for a release and continued shopping for a new record label until she came aboard B-Boy records, the parent label to Boogie Down Productions and home to artist, KRS One. But Pre didn't last long with B-Boy because the record company was shut down. Even though Pre kept having unsuccessful encounters with independent labels, she didn't allow her career to experience the same fate. Following that, Pre came across Keyboard Money Mike who had produced a lot of tracks for KRS One and he also produced the music for her record and before she knew it, she had her first 12 inch. With a 12 inch in hand, Pre ran with that and performed at the Apollo several times as a guest with the help of Ron Alexander. Despite comments by people urging Pre to disassociate herself with Alexander, she stuck by him.

      Although Pre was extremely successful at the Apollo, she never found herself leaving with prominent people like Clive Davis. Instead she kept dealing with people who couldn't fulfill her needs as an artist in the manner she is doing for herself today. Pre felt as if she was remaining in the same place rather then progressing. She became so discouraged she decided to lay her mic down for about 7-8 years.

      As time went by, Pre began putting her own stuff together, maintaining her reputation as a do it yourself type chick. She eventually went back to Richard Harrison whom she thought would always be there for her despite their time apart. Harrison had still been in the music game and was at the time dealing with young artists ages 17 and 18 years old. But instead of feeling encouraged and appreciated as an experienced artist, Pre was extremely discouraged while dealing with Harrison this time around. He assumed that since Pre was no longer the 17 year old he met in 1988, she didn't have it anymore and she would therefore have to change everything that made her the Pre Daily she is today. Following this encounter with Harrison, Pre returned home where she was supported 200% by her significant other. He urged her to continue her music and bought her a four track recorder and a drum machine. With a four track, a drum machine and an old Yamaha keyboard from her mother's house in her possession, Pre started recording again. Although she had never made a beat before, Pre had a basic idea and tried it anyway. After 5 years of making beats, Pre took her music to the streets in 2001 to test the waters. In the process she looked up Ron Alexander and discovered he was still in business and had his own show. She got in contact with him after 14 years and even he doubted her capabilities as an artist. Her age was becoming the focus of attention rather than her skills. Despite any discouraging comments, Pre performed on the Ron Alexander show and brought down the house. Pre proudly recalls being the best act in the house and was very warmly received by all of the young people and that's why she's still doing it today. In fact, she is an inspiration to young aspiring rappers like her daughter who also raps, and the F-troop which are her younger artists. This multi-talented female can ghost write, she has young artists under her, and she is a producer. She also makes clothes and paints sneakers. Without a doubt, this do it yourself chick continues to hold it down Daily.
