\n\tIn a conversation with his bandmates on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X <\/em>posted Wednesday (Feb. 25), Dave recalled learning that his child had created an LP and signed a record deal all by herself. \u201cSo Violet, my daughter \u2014 she\u2019s 19, about to turn 20 \u2014 she made this album with a producer named Justin Raisen, and she did it on her own,\u201d he gushed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe met the producer, and they would go to the studio every day and make songs, and she would send me songs when she was finished,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut I had absolutely nothing to do with this record at all. I had no idea.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNoting that he \u201cknew that she was looking to sign a record deal,\u201d Dave added that he was still in disbelief when Violet informed him that she had, in fact, done just that. \u201cShe was like, \u2018Hey, Dad, can I come over for dinner tonight?\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018Yeah, sure. What do you want me to make?’\u201d he shared. \u201cAnd she came over and told me, \u2018I signed my record deal today.\u2019 Like, oh my God. I\u2019m totally uninvolved, and I\u2019m like the dad that wants to be there and know everything, and she\u2019s just totally doing her own thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Nirvana alum shares Violet \u2014 who inked a deal <\/a>with Republic Records in January \u2014 with his wife, director Jordyn Blum, with whom he also has two younger daughters. Grohl is the father of a fourth child as well, admitting in September 2024 that he\u2019d welcomed a baby <\/a>\u201coutside of my marriage.\u201d (He added at the time that he planned on being a \u201cloving and supportive parent\u201d to the child while working to regain his family\u2019s trust and \u201cearn their forgiveness.\u201d) <\/p>\n

\n\tThe interview comes as the Foo Fighters are gearing up to release new album Your Favorite Toy <\/em>in April, marking the band\u2019s first LP since 2023\u2019s But Here We Are<\/em>, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200<\/a>. But according to Dave, one of the reasons why he felt motivated to get back in the studio with his own band was Violet, who released debut single \u201cNausea\u201d in 2021 followed by tracks \u201cTHUM\u201d and \u201cApplefish\u201d this past January. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Her] record is amazing \u2014 she is so incredibly talented,\u201d he said. \u201cIt really inspired me to make this one. It really did.\u201d<\/p>\n
