Who is Willow Smith?
Willow Smith is an American actress, singer and dancer. Born to ace actors Will and Jade Smith, it was only natural for Willow Smith to be born talented. She has all the traits in her to be what it takes to succeed in entertainment industry. When Smith was barely seven, she made her debut in her father’s super hit film ‘I Am Legend’. Though having the privilege of being Will Smith’s daughter, Willow did not let her father’s stardom status act as a shield for her. Instead, she resolved to carve a path out of her own talent and auditioned for the role which she eventually bagged. Just when her acting career took off, Smith surprised her fans and family by storming into music scene with her single ‘Whip My Hair’. Despite being a debut venture, the song was a super hit and stormed to the top spots at the US and UK charts, thus establishing her music career as well. Interestingly, Smith’s crossover from screen to vinyl surprised her family the most. Her mother has been quoted saying ‘I don't know where that voice came from. She sings like she's a grown woman. I have no idea, but she's something. Music is her thing’. We couldn’t agree any better!

In summer 2013, Willow Smith, along with DJ Fabrega, started a duo titled ‘Melodic Chaotic’. Their first work together was titled ‘The Intro’ which was closely followed by the second work ‘Summer Fling’. ‘Summer Fling’ met with wide criticism for its mature tones and her fake English accent.
