We get reacquainted with the young lady with an old soul in conversation with\u00a0Tea Hacic-Vlahovic at Beats SoHo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n A star is born. Joined by her boy wonder brother Jaden, Willow Smith continues the Smith dynasty and takes to the stage in front of a small sea of diehard fans. In the absence of papa bear Will Smith, his prot\u00e9g\u00e9es steal the limelight so much so I forget the link between them. Smith has a calmness about her with a badass attitude I\u2019m just a little jealous of, \u201cWhat I would say to all the young artists is trust your vision. People are going to try to push your vision aside.\u201d Her stage presence is second to none as is her choice of outfit for the evening: a simple septum ring\/ crop top combo: so effortless, so chic. Sensual and inspiring, the freestyling queen presents \u2018feminism\u2019 on a level I can accept. It\u2019s hard to believe that at the tender age of 14 the singer has such awareness and an integrity you wouldn\u2019t expect from a child of Hollywood. Her lyrics \u201cHow you feel is not my problem, I really don\u2019t want you to go, but I don\u2019t know how to stop it, go do what you have to do\u201d are met with cheers and is the attitude women double her age would love to adopt.\u00a0 Endorsing authenticity, Smith\u2019s lyrics are mostly born through freestyle sessions in the studio these days, \u201cI used to sit down and write lyrics but I realized there were other fun ways.\u201d In an industry brimming with uber-sexualization, Willow has marketed herself cleverly and addresses issues she feels most passionate about, \u201cWhat inspires me most is what\u2019s happening in the world and what I think people need help with most at the moment is being themselves and trusting themselves and trusting that intuition.\u201d An undeniable girl boss.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jaden, Willow & Tea.<\/em><\/p>\n
