biography

A major star on television (In Living Color, The Jamie Foxx Show), the big screen (Any Given Sunday, Collateral, Ray, Miami Vice, Dreamgirls), and radio (his second album, Unpredictable, featured two Top Ten R&B singles), Jamie Foxx -- born Eric Morlon Bishop, Jr., in Terrell, TX -- started out as a comedian and went through years of gradually escalating notoriety before winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray. Though a 1994 album, Peep This, was something of an underground hit, he didn't really break out as a singer until his guest appearance on Kanye West and Twista's "Slow Jamz." The song helped set the stage for his second album, released through J Records at the very end of 2005. Upon release, Unpredictable duked it out for the number one position on the Billboard albums chart with Mary J. Blige's The Breakthrough. It reached number one and eventually went platinum. Intuition, involving input from the-Dream, Timbaland, Ne-Yo, and Floetry's Marsha Ambrosius, followed in late 2008. Foxx has also collaborated with Gladys Knight, Melvin Riley, Adina Howard, MC Lyte, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

  - I am a fan of Mr. Fox. I think he is one of the very few current artist who could carry the mantra of "An Entertainer". He is a bona fide talent.

  - Jamie Foxx has become one of the greatest artists in my opinion.
    He has grown so much as an entertainer not only does he have great talent in acting, only on his second album and he, in my opinion, tops some of the greatest R&B artists in the business. The album "Intuition" is outstanding in almost every aspect.
    Great Job and keep up the excellent work.

  - I have to admit that I was one of those folks that said, "Aw, come on" pretty much at every step of Jamie's career. Fortunately, getting past his character "Wanda" on In Living Color let us all start to see how genuinely talented Mr. Foxx is. His film work in Ray, Collateral, and Miami Vice showed that he had the ability to handle the serious roles. Then we listened to the brother sing on "Slow Jamz". I say 'we listened' because before that, all I ever did was happen to hear him sing. Now, I listen up and buy.
