Steven Spielberg's Kids' Band Wardell Signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation Label [LISTEN]: 'Jaws' Filmmaker's Son Theo & Daughter Sasha Break Into Music Industry
Steven Spielberg is known as arguably one of the best filmmakers alive today, but he might be getting some acclaim thanks to his children Theo and Sasha. The young Spielbergs (Theo, 25, and Sasha, 23) recently DJed Teen Vogue's "Young Hollywood" party, which resulted in enough people remembering the duo to keep talking about them this week.
Aside from this DJing gig, Theo and Sasha are the main members of the band Wardell (a pet name from their mother Kate Capshaw) and are managed by Jay Z's Roc Nation. Wardell is signed through U.K.'s National Anthem label, which is putting out the band's first album in 2014.
Wardell currently has the song "Opossum" streaming on its Bandcamp page, where you can download the single for free. This track comes from Sasha and Theo's recently released The Brother/Sister EP.

Though her focus is on music, Sasha is also making a name for herself in her father's industry. She recently sold the pilot Girls Without Boys with co-writer Emily Goldwyn (daughter of John) to ABC. Rashida Jones is producing.
"[M]usic is still my passion," Sasha explained. "I am going to find a way to balance both."
