Willow Smith Says She Might Have Famous Parents, But That Doesn't Define Her
The 23-year-old daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith said, “A little bit of insecurity has driven me harder because people do think that the only reason I'm successful is because of my parents.”
As the cover girl for the latest issue of Allure magazine, Smith opened up about finding her voice and space in music, trusting herself, and what her hard work means. She told Allure, “I just grew up a little bit, and I really am starting to figure out what kind of musician I really want to be.” Hearing Chet Baker for the first time opened her ears and mind in a way that made honing her skills and finding emotional depth in her music imperative. These are the words of a young woman who is very serious about her artistry, and that can be heard on “Empathogen,” Willow’s sixth studio album, which bounces so lightly through genres that one can’t pin it to one.
