Willow Smith, born in 2000 and from Los Angeles, started out as a child actress and signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation in 2010 as the label's youngest artist. "Whip My Hair", her debut single, went triple platinum, but the grown-up Willow has spent her career tearing up that script.
She has bounced from art pop and neo soul to jazz, funk and, lately, full-throttle alternative rock, and the guitar is as much her instrument as her voice. Lately I Feel Everything, in 2021, cranked up the distortion, and "Transparent Soul" went platinum; <COPINGMECHANISM> in 2022 went further still, all jagged riffs, raw-throated yells and swooping hooks, with "Hover Like A Goddess" gliding over the wreckage. Both records drew critical praise, and so did Empathogen in 2024, which earned two Grammy nominations.
Along the way she has made eight solo albums plus one as half of the Anxiety with Tyler Cole, landed on the Time 100 list in 2021, and opened tours for Childish Gambino and Coldplay.
