Violet Grohl grew up in the shadow of rock royalty yet has spent the last few years shaping a sound that feels entirely her own. The Los Angeles‑born singer‑songwriter first stepped onto a stage at twelve, sharing a rendition of Adele’s “When We Were Young” with her father, and has since turned those early gigs into a full‑time career.
Her debut album, Be Sweet to Me, arrived in May 2026 on Auroura and Republic Records, offering a mix of confessional lyricism and guitar‑driven pop that hints at both her heritage and a fresh perspective on modern rock.
Meet Violet Grohl
Born on April 15, 2006, in Los Angeles, she is the eldest child of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and director Jordyn Blum. Growing up with younger sisters Harper and Ophelia, she learned Pro Tools by fourteen and began crafting bedroom demos that would later become the backbone of her debut record.
Her first professional appearance came in 2018 at a benefit concert for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, where she and her father performed together. That moment, noted by NME, marked the start of a trajectory that has kept her firmly in the public eye.
Her Sound and Recent Work
While Be Sweet to Me showcases her knack for blending earnest vocals with punchy hooks, the singer‑songwriter’s live presence has been equally notable. A headline UK tour slated for August 2026 was abruptly paused after she lost her voice, prompting the cancellation of shows in Manchester and Glasgow. She reassured fans that tickets would be honored and new dates would follow.
Despite the setback, she is set to appear at Reading & Leeds 2026, followed by a string of European dates and a North American run later in the year. Those appearances underline her growing reputation as a festival‑ready act.
