Dave Grohl clearly has musical talent running through his blood as he is the founder of the band Foo Fighters and was the drummer for legendary rock group Nirvana. The 53-year-old superstar has collected a myriad of accolades over the years — including being called one of the most influential rock musicians of the last 20 years by Classic Rock Drummers co-author Ken Micallef, — but perhaps one of his greatest achievements happened at home: welcoming three children with his wife of over 20 years, producer/director Jordyn Blum.

When you have kids, you see life through different eyes. You feel love more deeply and are maybe a little more compassionate.”
While it remains to be seen if he has passed those rock star genes on to his youngest daughters Harper and Ophelia, Dave has definitely found his musical mini-me in his eldest girl Violet. Find out more about the burgeoning lead singer, below!

Violet rocked out on stage at Lollapalooza.
As recently as August, Violet took over lead vocals during part of the Foo Fighters set at Lollapalooza, per Entertainment Weekly.
