Biography
A major star on television (#In Living Color, #The Jamie Foxx Show), the big screen (#Any Given Sunday, #Collateral, #Ray), and radio (his second album, Unpredictable, went platinum), 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.
