Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl’s daughter and musician Violet Grohl recently revealed that she doesn’t like male musicians around her age.
In an interview with The Forty Five, the young musician shared her candid thoughts about her male peers in the music industry. She also offered advice she’s received about setting boundaries.
She said, “I don’t like male musicians my age. I don’t care. They have attitude problems. They’ve been saying this about us for so f*cking long – it’s time that they sit down, be quiet and play their music.”
Violet also reflected on the importance of learning to say no and setting personal boundaries.
She added, “The best advice I’ve been given is that it’s OK to say no or that you don’t want to do something. For a lot of women, it took them a really long time to accept and implement that into their lives. It’s inspiring to be around the kinds of people who don’t give a f*ck and will say whatever they feel.”
Violet’s career had reached a significant milestone when she inked a record deal with Republic Records/Island EMI through her own Auroura Records imprint. The record executives have praised her as representing “the next generation of artists.” They highlighted her immediate and intentional approach to music and her distinctive dual-toned voice.
The youngster has already dropped lyric videos for her tracks “THUM” and “Applefish.” She also collaborated with Gary Numan’s daughter Persia on “What’s Heaven Without You,” which serves as a tribute to filmmaker David Lynch.
Her debut album is currently in production, featuring music written from scratch in the studio using her diverse playlists that span trip hop, folk, and even Scandinavian black metal. Her debut studio album, Be Sweet to Me, is scheduled for release on May 29, 2026, through Aurora Records/Republic Records.
