According to an anonymous source cited by Hollywood Reporter, the 18-year-old Violet is “incredibly committed” to “growing as an artist” and creating music. She is reportedly making the most of the studio time her father gifted her for her birthday.
Musical Journey and Collaborations
Violet’s journey into the music scene didn’t start recently. Back in 2018, she began touring with Foo Fighters, lending her vocals as a backup singer for her father during various performances.
Violet made a notable appearance with the band at the 2022 tribute concerts honoring their late drummer Taylor Hawkins, where she sang covers of Jeff Buckley’s “Last Goodbye” and “Grace,” as well as “Valerie” by The Zutons.
Since then, she has shared the stage with the band multiple times, including a performance at Glastonbury last year, where she sang “Show Me How,” a song written by Dave for his mother.
Sources from TPP describe Violet as “a real vibrant singer” with incredible vocal talent. She is said to be collaborating with producer Justin Reisen, known for his work with artists such as Kim Gordon, Charli XCX, and Sky Ferreira.
In January 2021, Dave praised Violet as an “incredibly talented musician” capable of mastering an instrument in just a week, expressing his desire to become her drummer. At that time, he mentioned that she was contemplating a shoegaze album and that he hoped to contribute.
It remains to be seen if her debut album will retain that shoegaze style or if her musical preferences have evolved since 2021.
Recent Family Updates
In September of this year, Dave Grohl shared that he “recently became the father of a newborn daughter born outside of my marriage.” He expressed his love for his wife and children and his commitment to regaining their trust and earning their forgiveness.
Following this news, Foo Fighters canceled their scheduled headlining performance at the Soundside music festival, and the band currently has no live shows planned.
After the announcement of Grohl’s new daughter, his representatives denied a viral post claiming a social media user was the child’s mother, labeling it as misinformation.
