Daughter Of RCHP Drummer Chad Smith Auditions For ‘American Idol’

Mari Galaviz added this on March 29, 2022

The daughter of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith is trying to launch a music career of her own.

Ava Maybee Cardoso-Smith appeared on Sunday’s episode of American Idol, auditioning with a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Lately”.

Ava impressed the judges – Lionel Richie compared her to Cher, while Luke Bryan said he was “interested to hear and see more”.  In the end, she got a ‘yes’ from all three judges to advance to the next round.

The 20-year-old Ava already records her own music and has sung the national anthem at a Lakers game.

Do you still watch American Idol?  Did you follow in your parents’ career footsteps?
