LA-based singer-songwriter Violet Grohl has officially signed with Republic Records via her imprint, Auroura Records, marking a major milestone in her emerging career. Kristina Grossmann, SVP of A&R/Operations at Republic Records, said:
“From the moment we met Violet, it was clear that she represents the next generation of artists. The music is immediate, intentional and her voice holds a rare duality. She is unapologetically cool and is a fearless female voice. We couldn’t be more excited to help bring her vision and this album to life.”
David Wolter, EVP/Head of A&R at Republic Records, added:
“Violet brings a rare combination of perspective, artistry, and reverence for the craft. She understands the history of music, but she’s also pushing it forward. She is the future.”
Alongside her signing, Violet Grohl has released three tracks across all streaming platforms. Previously only available on Bandcamp, “THUM” and “Applefish” showcase two sides of her artistry: “THUM” delivers raw, emotionally explosive energy, while “Applefish” is lighter, playful, and dreamlike. Together, the tracks reveal the honest, youthful emotion at the heart of her work.
This week, she also released a third track, “What’s Heaven Without You,” a tribute to the late David Lynch on what would have been his 80th birthday. On the release, Violet shared:
“This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen. A few days after the chaos and devastation of the L.A. fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical. We miss you David.”
With her Republic Records partnership and these three new releases, Violet Grohl is poised to make a powerful impression, blending emotional depth, artistic reverence, and fearless expression in her music.
