Willow Smith may be over ten years into her music career, but she is still accomplishing special milestones.
The “Wait a Minute” singer has been releasing music for almost 15 years, starting with her debut song “Whip My Hair,” an instantly viral hit that came out in 2010 when she was only nine years old.
The Black Shield Maiden author is the youngest daughter of Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who are also parents to son Jaden, 26, plus Trey, 30, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum’s son with ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
As the weekend came to a close, Willow took to Instagram and commemorated that she had just performed her very first orchestra show. She shared several photos of the special moment, for which she wore a crinkle cut chocolate brown gown, that capture her performing with her orchestra, and grinning ear-to-ear taking in the moment.
She then wrote in her caption: “FIRST ORCHESTRA SHOW WAS A SUCCESS! NOW I AM OBSESSED. BIG GRATITUDE TO @dhodgeworld FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH AN AMAZING ARRANGEMENT! PLAYING WITH THE COLOR OF NOIZE ORCHESTRA WAS ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCES I’VE EVER HAD AND I CAN’T WAIT EXPAND ON THIS INSPIRATION! MORE TO COME.”
Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and commend her, with one writing: “Awwww so gorgeous,” as others followed suit with: “Beautiful show!” and: “Your art has changed my life,” as well as: “So perfect.”
Willow is fresh off of being on the road as the opening act for Childish Gambino’s tour, however her time performing was cut short as the “Redbone” singer, whose real name is Donald Glover, had to cancel the remaining concerts over a health issue.

After being assessed, it became clear I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked.”

He concluded: “With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates,” which would have served as his farewell to his Childish Gambino musical performance.
