Caroline Jones was born in New York City to Sonia and Paul Tudor Jones, and raised in Greenwich, Connecticut.[3][4] She attended the Professional Children's School in New York City and later New York University where she studied creative writing.[4][1] She took singing lessons when she was nine, and wrote her first song when she was ten.[5] She learned to sing opera and jazz under Andy Anselmo, and she also learned how to play various instruments including piano, guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and Dobro.[6] She was for some time more interested in pop, rock and R&B music until she visited Nashville when she was 16 or 17, and switched her interest to country music.[4][7]
In 2010, Jones launched The Heart is Smart initiative, which included performing in schools and colleges and providing music workshop for students.[3] She also wrote and produced her debut album herself in New York City and Nashville in 2010, playing multiple instruments on the album. In January 2011, Jones self-released the album, Fallen Flower.[8][9] She quickly followed by another three albums the following year.[5][10] In 2013, Jones became the host of Art & Soul, a radio show on SiriusXM's Coffee House interviewing musicians on their music and songwriting.[7]
In 2017, she opened for Zac Brown Band and in 2018 Jimmy Buffett.[6] Through Buffett, she became signed to his Mailboat Records, and she also collaborated with Buffett on a song.[11]
Jones was listed as one of the 10 need-to-know new country artists by Rolling Stone in 2017,[12] and one of 15 country artists to watch by Billboard in 2018.[13] Jones released Bare Feet in March 2018. Jones wrote all the songs in the album, which was produced by Ric Wake.[14] In 2019, she was listed among the 40 Under 40 List put out by Connecticut Magazine.[15]
