Willow Smith wants to clarify that she’s not merely riding her parents’ celebrity. The 23-year-old singer denies nepotism despite being the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Willow is independent and creating her own path.

Smith, Allure’s current cover girl, discussed finding her voice and place in music, believing herself, and her hard work. It’s fascinating to explore a young artist’s thoughts.

With her latest album, “Empathogen,” releasing on May 3rd, Willow shows her musical and personal evolution. She told Allure, “I just grew up a little bit, and I really am starting to figure out what kind of musician I really want to be.” After hearing Chet Baker for the first time, she realized she had to improve her talents and create emotional depth in her music. After that, I thought, “Damn, I need to practice more.” I need to improve my music. That’s the atmosphere of this era and my life is just becoming a better musician.”Willow Smith wants to clarify that she’s not merely riding her parents’ celebrity.
