Background
Putesky's first instruments were the flute and the snare drum, and in 6th grade joined the school's chorus, for which he apparently had a talent. His early loves were drawing, movies and Star Wars. His first record was the Star Wars soundtrack, and the influence that it had on him can be seen in much of his original artwork featuring aliens and spaceships. In the late 1970s, when Scott was in his preteen years and punk had given way, he found admiration for artists such as David Bowie and Talking Heads, influences that are apparent in his later work. His stage name, Daisy Berkowitz, is derived from the Daisy Duke character from 1970s sitcom "Dukes of Hazzard" and David Berkowitz, serial killer nicknamed "Son of Sam".

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
