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: the sketch comedy So Random! (2011–12) and the sitcom Good Luck Charlie (2012–13), as well as the 2012 film Let It Shine, in which she co-starred with Tyler James Williams. Jones also signed with Hollywood Records as a recording artist after the release of her self-titled debut extended play (2010).

She returned to a recording career in 2022 and signed with Def Jam Recordings to release her single, "ICU", in October of that year. Her first hit song, it entered 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 herself as a nominee for Best New Artist.

That same year, she was cast in the starring role for the Peacock drama series Bel-Air (2022–present). Her other accolades include a BET Award and an NAACP Image Award.[3]
