Scott Mitchell Putesky, born April 28, 1968 is an American musician more famously known as Daisy Berkowitz and was the lead guitarist and co-founder of shock rock group Marilyn Manson until his forceful removal in 1996, during the recording of Antichrist Superstar.

Scott'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, like his later bandmember Twiggy Ramirez, adored Star Wars. His first record was actually the Star Wars soundtrack, the influence that it had on him can be seen in much of his original artwork, which consists of aliens and spaceships. In the late 70's, when Scott was in his early teenage 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.
