When Daisy was three years old, the Fuentes family moved to Madrid, Spain, and finally emigrated to Harrison, New Jersey four years later. While studying communications and journalism at Bergen Community College, Daisy was selected as "weather girl" on WXTV Channel 41, Univision's New York affiliate. It didn't take long for the journalism student to move up the ranks, to become news anchor and reporter for the evening news. The Latino television audience took a liking to the talented and beautiful 19-year-old reporter, and soon did a huge network: MTV. In 1988, Daisy moved on to work as news anchor at WNJU Channel 47, Telemundo's New York affiliate. That same year, she had the confidence to send a demo tape and letter to MTV. She soon retired her news reports for music reports, as host of MTV Internacional, which later became MTV Latino. While hosting and VJ-ing on MTV, Daisy began to develop her acting credits with a role on the ABC soap opera, Loving. She followed her stint on the soap with appearances on shows such as Dream On, The Larry Sanders Show and Cybill. From 1994 until 1995, Daisy became host of her own talk show on CNBC named Daisy, as part of the network's Talk All-Stars. One of her other claims to fame was as host of ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos, for two seasons. She also hosted The Alma Awards in 1997 and 1998; Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve '98; The 1998 World Music Awards; the 1999 Billboard Latin Awards; as well as Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants.

Fuentes grew to an impressive 5'10" tall and began reporting the weather for WXTV Channel 41 weather while studying journalism at Bergen Community College. She was promoted to evening news anchor by the time she was 19, at which point she was spotted by the folks at MTV. They recruited her to host MTV Internacional, which later became MTV Latino. Her lovely features and effervescent personality struck a chord with viewers everywhere, and Fuentes was soon appearing on shows all over the MTV universe, even trying out her acting chops with appearances on shows like Dream On and The Larry Sanders Show. She married beefy actor Timothy Adams in 1990, though the couple parted ways in 1994.
