ST. LOUIS – Best known for her performances as ‘Hillary’ on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot, ‘Bel-Air,’ and her song ‘ICU,’ singer and actress Coco Jones has been making waves across the tv and music industries. But before she became a star on stages and tv screens, singer and actress Coco Jones watched her father compete on an NFL field.
Coco Jones is the daughter of former NFL player Mike Jones, the former Rams linebacker that was able to secure the team’s first Super Bowl title after he infamously tackled Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson one yard short of the end zone as time expired in Super Bowl 34.
Despite growing up in Lebanon, Tennessee, and being a baby when her father made the famous tackle, the Jones family maintained ties to the Rams organization. Coco Jones had the chance to showcase her talent by singing the Star-Spangled Banner twice at a St. Louis Rams game: at 9 years old in 2007 and again at 15 years old in 2013.
The Jones family is full of talent in addition to Coco Jones and her father. Javonda Jones, Coco’s mother, worked in the music industry, serving as a singer and vocal specialist. Along with her mother, Coco’s brother, Mike Jones Jr., attended Clemson University and LSU for football before joining the Atlanta Falcons in 2023 as an undrafted free agent.
Coco Jones continues to make waves across the music industry after dropping her album, ‘Why Not More?,’ which also features appearances from singer YG Marley, producer London On Da Track, and rapper Future.
