Grammy-winning singer/actress Coco Jones has evolved from making teen-oriented dance-pop to vulnerable, intimate R&B. She emerged in her teens as a Disney Channel regular while forging a parallel career as a recording artist. 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 had 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, a reboot of The Fresh Prince of 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. A series of singles like 2024's "Here We Go (Uh Oh)" and 2025's "Taste" arrived ahead of Jones' debut album, Why Not More?
