Moon Unit Zappa

Moon Unit Zappa is the daughter of legendary musician Frank Zappa and the author of a new autobiography. In her book, Earth to Moon, she reflects on her unconventional upbringing, and she shares a candid account of what it was like growing up in Los Angeles with a rock star father.

At just 14 years old, she approached her father with the idea to collaborate on a song—not in pursuit of fame or a music career, but as a way to spend more time with him. That song, Valley Girl, became an unexpected smash hit, and her life changed almost overnight.

In this episode, we dive into Moon’s profound respect and pride for her father’s musical legacy, while also addressing the lingering resentment she feels over a childhood marked by manipulation, deceit, and disappointment. We’ll also uncover some captivating celebrity stories from her book and explore how sudden fame can affect a teenager.

Tune in for a conversation with this multi-talented author, actress, entrepreneur, and the artist who left a lasting mark on pop culture with her iconic slang from the song Valley Girl.
