Summary

Way back in 2012, the Disney film Let It Shine, changed Coco’s life. But those dreams disintegrated when her LP was shelved and the movie sequel fell apart. Coco went back to school in Tennessee, and kept on grafting, auditioning, writing and releasing music independently while honing her craft. But when a fan tweeted “What happened to Coco Jones?” in 2020 she decided to jump on live and serve tea: where she’d been, what she’d been up to, plus her experiences with colorism and being a child star with a singing voice that belied her young years.

The Grammy winner stopped into the studio for the second time (more on that in the interview) to talk about all this, plus her upbringing, treading the musical boards in Jersey, and her star turn as Hilary Banks on the hit reboot Bel Air. She also gives us the skinny on her breakout hit ‘ICU,’ her debut album ‘Why Not More?’, and what the hell did Bella and Edward name their kid in the Twilight series?! A very important question.
