Willow Smith rose to fame at the tender age of 9. However, her musical journey sets her apart from child stars who were burned out by the relentless demands of the industry or left unable to spread their wings into compelling adult creators gracefully. She never settled for being a mere gimmick or leveraging the fame of her renowned parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. However, this does not mean her parents are not firmly in her corner. 

Recently, Will Smith showcased the kind of support any loving parent would offer. The proud dad shared a video of Willow performing live at the Camp Flog Gnaw Bash.

Her performance resonated with all Black femmes and anyone using music as an outlet and evolution through music. Will Smith shared a clip on his story, originally posted by Amazon Music, to showcase Willow’s powerful rendition of one of her first singles, ‘Wait a Minute!’ from the event. Willow collaborated with producer James Chul Rim to pen the song from her debut album ‘Ardipithecus’, released in the year 2015.

At the same event, Willow not only performed her newly released single ‘Alone’ but also shared the stage with her brother, Jaden, in a memorable guest performance of ‘Summertime in Paris’ from his album ‘ERYS’. Despite the absence of any caption in Will Smith’s story for Willow Smith, his pride in his daughter’s talent was unmistakable. While Will Smith has been offering support to his daughter with shoutouts on social media, Jada Pinkett Smith took steps to spiritually cleanse Willow’s soul.

Setting forth on an Eastern escapade driven by their mutual fascination with Indian spiritual customs, Jada and Willow immersed themselves in a sojourn in the heart of India. Widely recognized for their deep interest in Eastern traditions, especially Hinduism, the duo found themselves actively participating in the celebrations of Makar Sankranti, a Hindu festival known for its rich cultural significance.

Her thread also featured her “swami” and new Indian friends, concluding with a special moment as she gracefully wore a saree.
