Singer, songwriter, and actress Coco Jones is known for vulnerable and intimate R&B that sounds modern despite echoes of vintage soul and pop. The Tennessee native emerged in her teens as a Disney Channel regular while forging a parallel music career. She starred on the network's So Random! in 2011 and 2012 before releasing an EP of effervescent dance-pop, Made Of, in 2013. Jones embraced a more mature contemporary R&B sound by her fourth EP, 2019's H.D.W.Y. She made her Def Jam label debut with the What I Didn't Tell You EP in 2022, the same year she debuted as Hilary Banks on Bel-Air. What I Didn't Tell You spawned the Top 20 R&B/hip-hop hit "ICU," which won Best R&B Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. Singles like 2024's "Here We Go (Uh Oh)" and 2025's "Taste" arrived ahead of Why Not More?, her remarkably nuanced first album.
