Coco Jones Recalls Feeling Misunderstood Early On In Her Career

Coco Jones is looking back on the early days of her music career.

The 25-year-old singer and Bel-Air star made an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday (March 22), where she recalled feeling misunderstood in the industry, being mistaken for Jennifer Hudson and how she’s enjoying being single.

Find out what she said inside…

“I was very young when I really had my first peak of success with [Disney Channel's] Let It Shine. I was like 14,” Coco told JHUd. “I think at the time, there was a lot of ideas of what I could be, but no real way of knowing how to execute that, when I’m a Black girl. I feel like there were a lot of formulas that would work for someone that didn’t look like me.”

“They would give me songs to sing and I’d be like, ‘Okay,’ and then I’d eat them up, and they’d be like, ‘Not like that.’ But I’m like, what am I supposed to do,” she continued. “I just feel like at the time, they just didn’t know how to market me, and that’s kind of what they told me too, but you know, it’s all in God’s timing. I don’t even think I was ready at that time.”

Coco also hit the stage to perform her single “ICU.” Check out the videos right here!
