Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith to make India debut with Vh1 Supersonic

By Bryan Durham - January 17, 2019

Rapper Jaden Smith will be in India for the first time as one of the headliners at the Vh1 Supersonic at the Mahalakshmi Lawns in Pune on February 16-17.

The son of Will Smith (no introduction needed) will be part of a musically diverse lineup at this two-day festival, now in its sixth edition.

Phase 1 included name-dropping of acts like Marshmello, Bonobo Live, Troyboi and Tropkillaz. The Phase 2 announcement has Smith, Rudimental (DJ Set) and Two Door Cinema Club (who also perform in the country for the first time).

Jaden is expected to perform songs from his debut album ‘Syre’, which took three years to make and has top-shelf production.

This is interesting news, considering Jaden has expressed interest in Bollywood, way back in 2017.

His father Will beat him to it by featuring in Student Of The Year 2 starring Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria Puri.
