.OfficialWillow is on a mission to change the face of pop-punk — and is the perfect person for the job.

The song’s viral success is what scored Willow — who was born and raised in Los Angeles by Pinkett Smith and father Will Smith — a recording contract with Roc Nation that same year. But instead of cranking out more hits, she stopped releasing music until 2014, when she returned with her experimental R&B debut EP,, and released her next two full-lengths on both Roc Nation and her brother Jaden Smith’s imprint, MSFTSMusic.

Even so, Willow questioned how to navigate the sound at first, considering her vocal training was rooted in pop and R&B. She spent 2020 exploring indie rock on her collaborative album,, with fellow artist and rumored boyfriend Tyler Cole — which they released after locking themselves in a box right as the pandemic began for a 24-hour performance piece — and dropping an EP with mantra meditation musician Jahnavi Harrison.

“In the guitar world, it’s heavily dominated by white men,” says Willow, “and I just wanted to come in and f--k it up. I hope to see more women of color rocking out and playing guitar and bass, and I want to be their cheerleader. I want to be in their service.”
