Early life
Kidada Jones was born in Los Angeles, California, and is the elder daughter of composer/arranger Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton. She was raised in Bel-Air, California, with her younger sister Rashida Jones, now an actress. Their father is African American. According to DNA testing and research done for African American Lives in 2006, he has more than one-third European ancestry, with some present on both sides of his family. Two-thirds of his ancestry is African and, in his mother's direct maternal line, his ancestors can be traced to the Tikar people of present-day Cameroon. Their mother is the daughter of an artist and businessman, both from Jewish immigrant families (from Russia and Latvia).
Jones attended the Los Angeles Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising, leaving at 19 to work with designer Tommy Hilfiger.
