Her father worked as a builder and her mother was unemployed and mainly stayed home to look after the children. Daile's music often reflects a heavily lopsided mother-father presence in her music, detailing her strained relationship with her father from a young age due to his alleged alcoholism. Both her parents are of Selosian descent and immigrants from Swetania, her grandmother on her mother's side was a quarter Caldian. Daile holds both Narozalic and Caldian citizenship and currently resides in Caldia, although she has stated that her Caldian home has nothing to do with her family's heritage.

2013–2015: Pillow Thoughts and worldwide success
On October 24, 2013, Daile released her debut project Pillow Thoughts on all platforms through the Blue Sky Label, with the album gaining immediate popularity throughout Euclea. Her harmonious vocals earned her debut album a spot on the charts in many countries, with one of the album's songs, Diaries, hitting number one in multiple countries. The success brought about by the album propelled Daile into the international pop scene at the young age of 16, while simultaneously becoming the youngest ever number one charter in Hytek history, at just 16 years and 286 days. She announced her first tour, the Dairies Tour, on the January of 2014, where she visited much of northern Asura and Lhedwin. She played her first live performance in Krasno on her birthday on 2014 before travelling north into Juznia and Kustlan, touring with Midrasian producer Isaac Carré, who had assisted Daile in the making of many of her songs, including Diaries.
Her tour was a large commercial success that brought Daile widespread popularity in fame, cementing her as a musical icon in Lhedwin and Asura, despite her young age. She resigned with Blue Sky in 2014 following the conclusion of her tour, for a five year contract worth approximately $29 million - and continued to work with Carré at the label to produce music. It was also in 2014 that Daile became close friends with Kustlandic singer Gatzke Stienstra, with the two developing a close relationship as Daile accompanied Stienstra as a backing act during her 1989 Tour. While performing at a concert in Lekkum, Daile was revealed as a surprise act and the two performed a song that would later appear on their collaborative 2009 album a year after.
2015-: 97, 2009 and alive
Shortly after the tour, Daile released her third album, 97, out of the blue, with no supporting singles or prior information or release date coming with the album. Released on February 16, 2015, 97 would continue to expand upon Daile's growing reliance on the synth and electronic side of the pop genre, and got critical acclaim for such. Now becoming commonplace in her albums now, 97 debuted at number one on Hytek charts, surpassing 450,000 sales on its first week of release, the most of any Hytek musician up until that point. She supported the album with the 97 Tour in early 2015 but only toured domestically, which prompted many music magazines and theorists to speculate that another project or something else significant was coming in the near future, and, as predicted, Daile announced the release of her and Stienstra's collaborative project 2009 on May 19, 2015.
2009 was a continuation of Daile's textbook style but a deviation from the normality and heartiness of Stienstra's country-pop ballad mixture. It featured Stienstra's vocals over instrumentals and produced electronic beats more commonly found in Daile's work. Despite it being Stienstra's first real step out of her comfort zone, critics praised her exemplary performance on the album, with Hytek music magazine HQL rating it an 8.8/10 and the album winning the AKMA Music Awards' Album of the Year for 2015, the first time Daile had ever done so. It was in 2015, and during the recording of 2009, when Daile announced she would be moving to Midrasia, citing a "love for the culture and country of Midrasia" as her reasons for departing. Daile and Stienstra went on a small tour to support the release of 2009, visiting major cities such as Krasno, Königsreh and Berke in their tour.
In the period after the release of 2009, Daile suffered a breakup with her then-boyfriend Antonin Thiel, a Mascyllary, at the age of 18. Shortly after the breakup was publicly announced and reported on by major news outlets across the globe, Daile blacked out all of her social media and retreated from public life for the best part of two years. On April 10, 2017, she posted a message to her chirper profile stating "I'm back. April 17.", which garnered over a million likes. She released the lead single for her upcoming album, called "Two", on the scheduled April 17 date. Supported by another single, "People Like Us", on April 30, Daile released her fourth solo album alive on May 16, 2017, which broke the first-week sales record for an album, garnering over 900,000, and holding it until the release of Stienstra's Forever and Ever. alive charted at number one in multiple Asuran countries.
Name
"Daile" is a Hytek word with no literal Newreyan translation, but it can be best described as "the appreciation of something or somebody's beauty". She adopted the stage name in 2010.
