Dave Grohl’s 19-year-old daughter with wife Jordyn Blum, Violet Grohl, has inked a deal with Republic Records through her imprint, Auroura Records.
About the recording contract, SVP of AR/operations at Republic Records, said “From the moment we met Violet, it was clear that she represents the next generation of artists. The music is immediate, intentional and her voice holds a rare duality. She is unapologetically cool and is a fearless female voice. We couldn’t be more excited to help bring her vision and this album to life.”
Adding to his counterpart’s statement, David Wolter, EVP/head of A R at Republic Records, stated: “Violet brings a rare combination of perspective, artistry, and reverence for the craft. She understands the history of music, but she’s also pushing it forward. She is the future.”
Co-written with producer Justin Raisen and Persia Numan (the daughter of Gary Numan,) the teenager recently dropped her third single, ‘What’s Heaven Without You.” About the song’s homage to the late David Lynch, Violet explained:
“This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen. A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical. We miss you, David.”
