By 2012, Willow Smith was already well-known as a celebrity child and the voice behind "Whip My Hair," her 2010 debut single. In May 2012, Smith unveiled her "first video ever," "Do it Like Me (Rockstar)," which was recorded back before her "Whip My Hair" days. That same year, she continued to grow her music resume with another single titled "I Am Me."

In 2014, she unveiled her debut EP, and her first studio album—Ardipithecus—was released in 2015. Over the next few years, she continued to grow as an artist and released four albums, the latest being 2021's Lately I Feel Everything.

It's also worth noting that she released a remix of "t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l" in late 2021 that featured Kid Cudi, showing that she has a solid foot in the music industry and is a star in her own right. She also notably appeared in Kid Cudi's recent documentary, A Man Named Scott.

Aside from her music career, Smith has also gained recognition through her work on Red Table Talk alongside her mom and grandmother. Additionally, she has become outspoken with her views on relationships and experiences with bullying, and she's become recognized as a Gen Z icon.

It's also worth pointing out that Smith brought in 2022 on a solid note, as she was recently included on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list and performed the iHeartRadio ALTer Ego concert.
