Daryl Braithwaite and his twin brother, Glenn were born on 11 January 1949 and raised in a working class family in Melbourne. Braithwaite attended Punt Road Primary School in South Yarra, then Christ Church Grammar.

In March 1970, he joined Sherbet who became one of the country's biggest bands over the next ten years.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2017, Braithwaite was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame by Jimmy Barnes.

Despite not releasing a hit song since the early '90s, 68-year-old Daryl Braithwaite wowed a glitterdrenched crowd in their early 20s on the opening night of the annual Falls Festival in Lorne. The former Sherbet frontman's solo hit One Summer was a crowd favourite, as was Howzat, but nothing compared to his extended rendition of The Horses.
