John McEnroe's daughter Emily McEnroe recently posted snippets of her singing sessions, which also featured her father as he showed off his guitar skills.

Emily McEnroe is the youngest child of McEnroe whom he had with his first wife and Hollywood actress Tatum O'Neal. Emily made her acting debut in 2022 with a film called Futura Days. She also gave voice to Scarlett Johansson's character in Ghost In The Shell.

Emily recently uploaded many videos on Instagram featuring her singing sessions from the year 2023. Some of the videos even featured her dad John McEnroe.

In some videos, the father-daughter duo can be seen jamming together while some videos show her performing live. She titled the post "2023 jams."

This is not the first time that Emily and McEnroe were seen performing together. They performed together at the Indian Wells 2023.

Emily shares her love for music with her father, as the former World No. 1 once formed a band named "The Johnny Smyth Band". They wrote some songs and performed small gigs. However, the American quit the band in 1997 just before the release of their first album, and the album was never released to the public.

Later, when McEnroe was questioned in an interview with GQ magazine about his music career, the former No. 1 mentioned that the album was not "good enough" to be released.
