Singer-songwriter Violet Grohl has addressed accusations that she is a so-called "uncool baby" (a term used for the children of celebrities), saying that such comments do not pose a problem for her and that she sees them as "something unimportant."
The daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl spoke about the topic ahead of the release of her debut album "Be Sweet To Me," which is due out May 29th via Aurora Records/Republic/Island.
"I am extremely grateful for the life I was born into," she said in an interview with The Forty-Five magazine.
"It's a great privilege to be surrounded by musicians and have a space that stimulates my interest, allows me to develop and record an album," she added.
Grohl admitted that her family name opens certain doors for her in the industry, but stressed that she is not trying to deny it.
"Of course, doors open for me because of my last name. It's not something I'm going to hide behind or say: 'No, I achieved all this myself, don't say that'. Honestly, I don't care. I've been hearing that since I was 13. Feel free to call me 'unlucky baby' - I don't care. I just hope that people will eventually give me a chance," she said.
The young artist, who was recently confirmed as part of the Reading & Leeds 2026 festival line-up, invited the audience to judge her work for themselves.
"Come hear me live. Listen to my music, and then decide whether I deserve this career or not. This is my passion, my path – and the only thing I want to do," Grohl concluded.
