Early Life
Born in Columbia, South Carolina & raised in Lebanon, Tennessee by former NFL player Mike Jones and talented session vocalist, Javonda Jones. The young actress/singer/rapper triple threat began singing as soon as she learned to speak. Coco’s first stage performance was at the age of six when she belted “America the Beautiful” to a crowded stadium of parents at her kindergarten graduation. The crowd couldn’t believe that the voice they were hearing was that of young Coco. At the age of nine, Coco met the casting heads for Disney and blew them away with a cold read. After that, Coco set out to become a skilled actress. She was first paid to perform at the age of ten, when she demoed a song for a well-known songwriter.
