Biography
Jaden Smith built a dual career in film and music after his childhood breakthrough. Son of Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith, he debuted on screen in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) alongside his father, then reprised that pairing in After Earth (2013). Between those films, he co-starred in The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) with Keanu Reeves and The Karate Kid (2010) with Jackie Chan. After a three-year break from acting, he returned to screen in 2016 with the Netflix series The Get Down and voice work on the anime Neo Yokio.
As a recording artist, Smith first guest-performed on Justin Bieber's 2010 single "Never Say Never," which peaked in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten and earned quintuple platinum RIAA certification. He released mixtapes including CTV2 (2014) before signing with Roc Nation and Interscope Records. His debut studio album Syre (2017) peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200, followed by Erys (2019) at number 12 and CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3 (2020) at number 44. In 2022, he earned a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year as a featured artist on Justin Bieber's Justice.
