Nirvana singer Frances Bean Cobain was 15 when she was born in 1992 .

The now 32-year-old artist is mom to 2-week-old son Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk .

At 15 she already had nearly two dozen musical theater productions under her belt.

"I'm famous by default. I'm not my parents," she said.

Frances Cobain was an executive producer on the 2015 HBO documentary Kurt Cobain : Montage of Heck.

She was left to compile her own impressions of her dad's short life through home movies, interviews and the music he left behind.

Having a dad, though, she added, "would have been an incredible experience".

Frances posted a touching tribute to her father on April 5 , the 30th anniversary of his death.

"In the last 30 years my ideas around loss have been in a continuous state of metamorphosing," she wrote.

"The duality of life & death, pain & joy, yin & yang , need to exist along side each other," she said.
