Harper Willow Grohl is another connection between older rock generation and new one, as she was born into one of the biggest contemporary rock families. But the future rock star may still be in the making as Harper, the middle daughter of Foo Fighter band leader Dave Grohl and producer wife Jordyn Blum, seems to be keen on following the footstep of her father while at the same time establishing herself.
Early Life
Harper Willow Grohl arrived into the world on August 22 2009 as the second born child to Dave Grohl and Jordyn. Violet joined the family as a baby sister before Harper also became a big sister to young Ophelia.
Being born and raised in a family where music became not only the job, but also a kind of creed, the childhood of Harper was created from an outstanding vision that only a few children could view. She discovered the real societal value of music by being a live spectator at many influential music festivals.
She has seen the exciting life of rock music in recording studios during her childhood. Though, her father has made himself a well-known person, Harper’s parents have ensured that she remains a real-life person.
She has been nurtured in a cultural context that derives from rock celebrity but has normal childhood incidences. Just like any other child of her age, she goes to school, nurtures her hobbies and does all the usual things a child would do but still on occasions she performs with her father on stage or at dignified music shows.
Career
Since Harper is still young and motivated mainly by the education process, she has inherited her family’s musical talents. One of her more famous appearances was when she was playing the drums with the Foo Fighters at the age of eight as we can see that music is in her genes in the Grohl family.
Ignoring her desire to be a normal kid, Harper has occasionally performed on stage with her dad as a drummer, as she steadily develops stage presence and confidence at concerts but this is occasionally done in conjunction with normal kid activities such as school.
About Parents: Dave Grohl
Few will argue that Dave Grohl, Harper’s father, is not one of the most respected personalities in rock music. Emerging in 1990s as a drummer in Nirvana, he formed the Foo Fighters and proved himself as performer, musical creative, singer and public face.
His impact in rock music has been over many years, from when he played a part in the formation of grunge to coming up with a new form with the Foo Fighters. Jordyn has been able to balance between a producer and director job, look after the family’s wellbeing and care while supporting Dave and their children’s activities.
Dave has been a father devoted to be responsible for the family, and sometimes shared many stories about challenges for balancing the life of a rock star while being a father to his children.
