Willow Smith Talks About Signing to Jay-Z’s RocNation
Back in July, Jada Pinkett-Smith, put us on to her daughter Willow’s budding singing talent. Quick recap: “Let me tell you, she’s 9 years old. I don’t know where that voice came from. She sings like she’s a grown woman. Like she’s been around. I’m like, ‘where does all that experience in your voice come from?’ I have no idea, but she’s something. Music is her thing.”
Now it’s officially the start of a new career. Willow Smith has signed to Jay-Z’s RocNation. This morning, Willow was interviewed on the Ryan Seacrest show. You’ve seen her wild doo in pictures (the one up top is actually an earlier one;) by the way she carries on a conversation it is hard to believe - like everyone says - that she is 9 years old.
“Whip My Hair” is Willow’s first song. Of course, Ryan Seacrest asked her..
What does ‘Whip my Hair” mean?
“It means just be an individual. Like you can’t be afraid to be yourself. You have to be yourself and you can’t let anybody tell you that that’s wrong.”
And how do you know to think that way?
“My mom and me are very strong individuals and I just know that because lots of people, they don’t act like themselves, so they’re not happy.”
During the interview, Jay-Z called in and said “Whip My Hair” was the song that caught his ear. He said he didn’t know it was Willow until after he heard it. Jay-Z talked about meeting Willow for the first time in Japan. He said her maturity level, the way she decribes exactly how she feels, is one indication that Willow is going to be a superstar.
Jay-Z also saw similar things in 16-year-old Rihanna.
So what’s the plan to start Willow’s music career?
Jay-Z → “Just to facilitate all of her ideas. As you gonna learn today, you sit with her for a half-hour, you’ll see she’s a wealth of information and ideas.”
I’m predicting big things too. With a creative mind (that hairdo was her idea,) and Will, Jada, and Jay-Z guiding Willow along the way, she’s going to be well prepared for all of the challenges, accolades, and buckets of criticism that come with the music business.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
I’m so pleasantly surprised with Willow’s sound and her success. I’m excited to watch her grow and mature into her music and looks. Her talent is rare for her age and it’s only going to get more polished. To know what she wants to do and to be able to do it at such a young age is a blessing. The weirdos all over the net are so ridiculous to say she’s too young and look at Michael Jackson..Yeah, look at Michael Jackson’s life and look at Willows life. COMPLETELY different circumstances..Will and Jada aren’t pimping her for money. Her and Jaden could have grown up to be two spoiled brats not contributing anything to society, but look at them making use of there inherited talents??? WHO CAN BE MAD AT THAT?! I’m so proud of the Smith family. As a black family they have truly overcome so much. Of course most people can’t handle it, but I for one can’t get enough of them. It may not be in their blood or their name but they created their own thrones and now the world sees they are ROYALTY. Black people need to stop being so mad and follow suit!
...wow! she sounds better than Nikki Minaj! lol this is incredible! i wear my hair back & forth!
Will, jada, Jaden and Willow put White celebrity families to SHAME.
This is, no doubt, A GOOD LOOK for the smiths.
The Kids a GORGEOUS!
How old is she now?
Got the age—nevermind.
