Dave Grohl’s Daughter Violet Reportedly Readying Her Debut Album

Violet Grohl, the daughter of rock veteran Dave Grohl, is reportedly in the process of preparing her debut album.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Violet has been working on new material in a studio space that she had been gifted for her birthday by her father. Having performed alongside Dave in the past and also releasing music as a solo artist, Violet is has been described as being “incredibly committed” to the musical process and “to growing as an artist” by an unnamed source.

Currently, her studio time has seen her working with producer Justin Raisen, who has worked with artists as varied as Charli XCX, Drake, and John Legend, and most recently, Kim Gordon on her Grammy-nominated album The Collective.

Violet first emerged as a musician in 2018 at the age of 12, performing a cover of Adele’s “When We Were Young” with her father. Since then, she has also joined her father and other surviving members of Nirvana for a cover of “Heart-Shaped Box”, in addition to providing backing vocals for the likes of St. Vincent and Beck.

She’s also provided backing vocals on songs released the Foo Fighters’ Medicine at Midnight and But Here We Are albums, and performed as part of the tribute concerts to late drummer Taylor Hawkins. In 2021, she also released her debut single, covering X’s “Nausea”, again in collaboration with her father.

“She’s a true torch singer,” a source told The Hollywood Reporter of her recent material. “Her vocals are tremendous. She’s very talented.”

Currently, official details relating to Violet’s full-length debut are being kept under wraps, including whether the music will be released via the Foo Fighters’ Roswell Records imprint of RCA Records – as was her “Nausea” single.

Dave Grohl and the remainder of his family have been relatively absent from the public eye since September, when Dave shared he had become the father of a daughter born outside of his marriage. “I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” he wrote on social media.

“I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,” he added. “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
