Career edit

With her father's help, Cantrall then started a YouTube series “Hello Kylie”, where she reviewed Disney Channel shows.[14] She also started singing and performed on YouTube and music.ly.[13]

In 2016, Cantrall was signed to a talent management agency.[15] In 2017, as Hello Kylie, she released her first single "Sleep is for Suckas" alongside independent music label New Muzik Order, which was cofounded by her father.[16] She also made guest appearances on Bizaardvark and Raven's Home.[17]

At 13 years old, she was cast in the title of Gabby Duran & the Unsittables.[18] As a result, she left public school to focus on her career.[13] In 2019, Gabby Duran & the Unsittables premiered on Disney Channel;[19] she also performed the series' opening theme song, "I Do My Thing".[20] In 2021, Cantrall reprised her role as Gabby Duran in the second season of Gabby Duran & the Unsittables. The show would be cancelled in December of that year.[21] She also featured on R3HAB's single "Sad Boy" alongside Jonas Blue and Ava Max that year,[22][23] and starred in a voice role in Ron's Gone Wrong as Savannah.[24]

In 2022, she started a TikTok series called “10 Minute Songs”, where fans would send her three words and in 10 minutes, she would create a song using those three words. In September 2022, it was announced during the D23 Expo that Cantrall would be part of the main cast of the fourth installment in the Descendants film series, originally in the working title of Descendants 4, later being officially named Descendants: The Rise of Red, in the title role of Red, daughter of the Queen of Hearts.[25][26][8] In the same month, it was announced that she would become a recurring cast member in the fourth season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.[27][28]

In August 2023, Cantrall became the ambassador of TruSkin cosmetics brand, being the brand's first ambassador.[1][2]

During the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, she worked on her music, releasing her debut EP with songs based on the “10 Minute Songs” Tiktok series and a non-album single, "Elastic". Her debut album is scheduled to release in 2024.[14][29]
