Meet Raising Kanan Actress Hailey Kilgore as “Jukebox” [VIDEO]
Get to know actress Hailey Kilgore who portrays “Jukebox” in STARZ hit series Raising Kanan. The POWER prequel, created and executive produced by rapper 50 Cent, takes fans to the beginning of the story.
Quick-witted, fiercely independent, strong. An incredible singer. She hangs with the boys and takes no stuff. Jukebox is Marvin’s daughter and Kanan’s cousin. She is Kanan’s closest confidant – they keep each other’s secrets, and always have each other’s backs.
It’s 1991 in South Jamaica, Queens, and 15-year-old Kanan Stark is eager to join his family’s growing drug business, led by his mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas in the POWER prequel “Raising Kanan”.
Jukebox is determined to forge her own path, scrapping and hustling to make the money to record a demo tape to launch her music career. Jukebox has always known she’s queer (a secret she has shared with Kanan) – but when she falls for a girl from a very different background, she is overwhelmed by the powerful emotions she feels as she embarks on this new relationship – one that would be absolutely forbidden in both their parents’ eyes.
