Ava Maybee Cardoso-Smith – daughter of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith – has covered By The Way single Universally Speaking.
Musical talent clearly runs in the Smith family, with Ava Maybee Cardoso-Smith – daughter of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad – recently sharing a truly excellent cover of Universally Speaking.
The singer-songwriter covered her dad's band on piano last week, uploading a beautiful rendition of the By The Way single to a hugely positive reception online. Having been performing since she was just five years old, Ava now also releases her own solo material, unveiling debut single Lay Low late last year, plus this year's See Me Now and Colors.
Check out the Universally Speaking cover below:
In RHCP news, Chad confirmed in January 2020 that the band would be recording a new album with returning guitarist John Frusciante.
The sticksman hinted: "I was given strict orders for this interview: 'DON’T TALK ABOUT THE BAND.' But, yes, John is back in the band and everyone knows that. We’re psyched. The festivals are the only shows booked. For now, we’ll mostly be concentrating on new songs and writing a new record. We’re all real excited to make new music."
When asked if that meant Red Hot Chili Peppers are writing an album with John, Chad responded: "Yes. That’s all I can say."
