Courtney Michaela Ann "Coco" Jones (born January 4, 1998) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Born in Columbia, South Carolina and raised in Lebanon, Tennessee, Jones began auditioning as a child to pursue a career in entertainment. She first appeared on the competition series Radio Disney's Next Big Thing (2010–11), which led to her signing with the company's Hollywood Records and being cast in several Disney Channel properties as recurring roles including the sketch comedy So Random! (2011–12) and the sitcom Good Luck Charlie (2012–13). She had her breakthrough role as Roxanne "Roxy" Andrews in the 2012 musical television film Let It Shine, where she co-starred with Tyler James Williams and lent her vocals to the soundtrack.
She returned to a recording career in 2022, signing with High Standardz and Def Jam Recordings and releasing her single, "ICU", in October of that year. The single was her first to enter the Billboard Hot 100, received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and won Best R&B Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The award was among five total nominations she received at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards—which included a nomination for Best New Artist.
That same year, she was cast in the starring role for the Peacock drama series Bel-Air (2022–present). In 2025, she released her debut studio album, Why Not More?, which was supported by the two time Grammy nominated lead-single "Here We Go (Uh Oh)". Her other accolades include a BET Award and an NAACP Image Award.
