Mini bio
How it started.
Growing up in Georgia, China performed scenes from favorite films with her siblings for their family. Her father is a music producer, and a friend of his heard her singing at home and suggested an audition. Her first feature film was The Gospel, followed by Daddy’s Little Girls with sisters Sierra and Lauryn.
The Disney years.
As music prodigy Chyna Parks in A.N.T. Farm, China brought singing and comedy together. “Calling All the Monsters” became part of that chapter. She later played Uma, Ursula’s daughter, in the Descendants films, singing “What’s My Name,” which earned RIAA Gold certification.
Family and new stages.
China continues to make music with her sisters as Thriii. Her screen work includes Jennifer Pierce, also known as Lightning, in Black Lightning. In August 2026, she made her Broadway debut as Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby, taking her music and acting into live theatre.
