At 15-years-old Coco Jones has the poise of a woman twice her senior, media training that would put Chris Brown to shame and a voice the Disney channel helped groom. Her debut song “Holla At The DJ” is an upbeat anthem appeals to her peers and aids in transitioning from actress to artist!

“My album is a mix between R&B and pop,” says Coco flashing her youthful smile. The lead single “Holla At The DJ” is a mixture of those components and derived from a personal experience.  “I was at this teen club, it doesn’t sound cool but it was really cool, and the DJ wouldn’t play my song so I kept asking him ‘would you please play my song’ and finally he played it and I said, this needs to be a song,” she remembers. And, thus a teeny-bopper hit was born!
