Willow Smith (born October 31, 2000) is an American pop and R&B singer, best known as the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and for her single “Whip My Hair”, hailing from Los Angeles, California, U.S.
Born into life in the public eye as the daughter of high-profile celebrities Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith made her performance debut alongside her father in “I Am Legend”. This appearance proved to be the first in a string of movie contributions, with the young actress later featuring in “Kit Kitteredge: An American Girl”, “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa”, and “Merry Madagascar”. It was announced in June 2010 Willow Smith was in the process of recording a solo album, which was led by the single “Whip My Hair”. The track peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, went platinum and ultimately introduced the singer to a national audience.
Willow Smith’s subsequent single “21st Century Girl” was promoted by an appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, after which she released the single “Fireball” with Nicki Minaj which failed to chart. “Fireball” became Smith’s first single to miss out on the Billboard 200, however aided the singer inking a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label. In May 2012 the single and video “Do It Like Me (Rockstar)” was issued, followed by “I Am Me” in July 2012. In a collaboration with DJ Fabrega entitled “Melodic Chaotic”, Willow Smith released a pair of singles “The Intro” and “Summer Fling”. The latter of which earned significant criticism for its mature themes and fake British accent. In November 2014 Smith officially issued her debut EP “3”, which was promoted by a show in New York City featuring SZA and brother Jaden Smith.
