Daws has appeared soloist durig brass festivals and events in venues such as Birmingham Symphony Hall and Wigmore Hall.

She graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 2022, having studied with Matt Gee, Peter Moore and Ian Bousfield. She created a buzz in the UK after being offered a trial for the principal position of the London Symphony orchestra during her first year at the Royal Academy of Music, at the age of 19. Since then, she has also performed with orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Orchestra, Philharmonia, Berlin Staatskapelle and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
