After several years of spiritual transformation, in 2012 she decided to give up her work in Argentina and settle in India. That December, she did not renew her contract with Vale 97.5 and departed for the city of Rishikesh, located at the foot of the Himalayas and known as the "world capital of yoga".{{Cite web |url=http://blogs.lanacion.com.ar/esto-no-es-hollywood/sin-categoria/daisy-may-queen-deja-todo-y-se-va-a-vivir-a-la-india/ |title=Daisy May Queen deja todo y se va a vivir a la India |trans-title=Daisy May Queen Leaves Behind Everything and Goes to Live in India |first=Fernanda |last=Iglesias |work=La Nación Blogs |language=Spanish |date=14 September 2012 |access-date=2 August 2018}}

She took her stage name in honor of Brian May, guitarist of the successful British band Queen, of which she is a fan. In 1985, while attending the Rock in Rio music festival, she managed to get in touch with the members of the band and gave Brian May a charango. It was from that moment that she took his last name as her own, to which she would later add the Queen, so that there would be no doubt about the name.{{Cite news |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/623606-con-la-misma-pasion-que-los-oyentes |title=Con la misma pasión que los oyentes |trans-title=With the Same Passion as Listeners |work=La Nación |language=Spanish |date=1 August 2004 |access-date=2 August 2018}}
