Dave Grohl's Daughter Made A Major Career Move Inspired By 'Chaos And Devastation'
Dave Grohl’s daughter, Violet Grohl, is following in her dad’s footsteps with a major career move.
On January 24, it was announced that the Los Angeles-based singer is signing with Republic Records / Island EMI. The news comes after the release of new songs THUM and Applefish, as well as a after previously promoting a dreamy track inspired by the death of director David Lynch.
On Instagram, the 19-year-old wrote that the song was “written in his memory,” adding, “A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA fires, we came together in our grief and let it pour out into this song.”
In 2007, Dave explained to People that Violet was a music fan by age 1. “Violet loves the Amy Winehouse record,” he said. “It’s all about the ‘Rehab’ song. If she hears, ‘Try to make me go to rehab,’ Violet will go, ‘No no no.’ I know, it’s a little weird, but it’s really cute!”
Over the years, Violet has performed on stage with her dad numerous times, including in 2023, when she sang with the Foo Fighters on stage at Glastonbury. There, she was introduced by her father as “my favorite singer in the world.”
Violet is the oldest child of the Foo Fighters frontman and his wife, Jordyn Blum, with whom he also shares daughters Harper, 16, and Ophelia, 11. In September 2024, Grohl announced that he had secretly welcomed a fourth daughter with a woman outside of his marriage. He did not reveal the identity of the woman or further details about the child, apart from saying, “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.”
Grohl and Blum later reconciled and appear to be working on their marriage.
