Coco Jones is an actress and singer best known for her breakout role on Bel-Air and her Grammy-winning R&B music career. Jones was born in Columbia, South Carolina, and raised in Lebanon, Tennessee. Born to singer Javonda Jones, Coco grew up in a musical household. Coco showed an interest in performing at a young age and began auditioning for roles as a child.

Her early acting breakthrough came in 2012 when she starred as Roxie in the Disney Channel movie Let It Shine, acting alongside Tyler James Williams.
