She also voiced Savannah Meades in the animated film Ron's Gone Wrong (2021).

## Early life

Cantrall's father is a music producer while her mother is a dancer and choreographer. She began learning how to dance at three years old while also going with her father to recording sessions. She was in a dance competition in Las Vegas when she was seven years old. When she was eight, she watched the biopic Crazy Sexy Cool. She started researching the group TLC and became obsessed with their music.

## Career

With her father's help, Cantrall started a YouTube series “Hello Kylie”, where she reviewed Disney Channel shows. She also started singing and performed on YouTube and musical.ly (now known as TikTok). In 2016, Cantrall was signed to a talent management agency. At the end of 2016, as Hello Kylie, she released her first single "Sleep Is 4 Suckas" alongside independent music label New Muzik Order, which was co-founded by her father. She also made guest appearances on Bizaardvark and Raven's Home.
At 13 years old, she was cast as the titular character in Gabby Duran & the Unsittables. As a result, she left public school to focus on her career. In 2019, Gabby Duran & the Unsittables premiered on Disney Channel; she also performed the series' opening theme song, "I Do My Thing". The series was later cancelled in December 2021. She was also featured on R3hab's single "Sad Boy" alongside Jonas Blue and Ava Max that year, and played the voice of Savannah Meades in the 2021 animated science fiction comedy film Ron's Gone Wrong (as her film debut).
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. 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.
In August 2023, Cantrall became the ambassador of TruSkin cosmetics brand, being the brand's first ambassador. 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 single, "Elastic".
Her debut album is scheduled to release in 2025.
