Willow Smith: Teen Vogue Photoshoot, Interview + Behind The Scenes Video

Singer Willow Smith is featured in the current issue of Teen Vogue Magazine where she talks about her burgeoning career, her family life, how her parents inspired her to get into music and fame.

The singer who lists Dolce & Gabbana as one of her favourite designers and is set to join Justin Bieber on his European tour this month says the Baby singer is like her big brother and that she doesn’t have a crush on him like all the girls seem to.

See what else Willow has to say along with the behind the scenes video of her shoot.

On her hit Whip My Hair and its positive message: “When I first put ['Whip My Hair'] out, everyone was like, ‘Willow, Willow, I love your song!’ And I was like, ‘Really?’ Whipping your hair means not being afraid to be yourself. If people don’t like you, then bunck them, you know?”

On her style: “I wear anything I feel like. If I want to put on a pair of Converse with a pencil stuck through them, I will. [Dolce & Gabbana’s] designs are really cool.”

On her parents inspiring her interest in music: “I used to go on tour with my mom and dad and see what they were doing, and I’d tell them, ‘Oh, I wanna do that, I wanna do that. Whenever I don’t feel like working, they say, ‘You don’t want that career? You have to work hard. They think I should keep working harder and harder.”

On growing up in the Smith household: “It’s pretty much a regular family. At dinner we talk about ‘What did you do today? What did you wear today?’ Not anything about work. They aren’t strict. They won’t be like, ‘Willow, clean up your room!’ They’ll be like, ‘Willow, will you please clean up your room?’ And I’ll be like, ‘OK,’ and do it.”

On being homeschooled part-time: “Whenever I’ve been gone from school for a long time and I come back, everyone’s like, ‘Willow!’ and I’m like, ‘Hiiiii!’”

On fame: “I have no privacy . . . even when I’m skating. You can pick how famous you want to be. If you don’t work hard, then you aren’t going to have the success that you want. But if you work hard and dig in, then you are going to have the success that you want.”

Willow is too cute. But every time she talks about her parents role in her life I cringe because it sort of sounds like she’s feeling pressured.
