Jamie Foxx was born Eric Marlon Bishop in Terrell, Texas, to Louise Annette Talley and Darrell Bishop, who worked as a stockbroker, and later changed his name to Shahid Abdullah. His mother was an adopted child. When her marriage with her father failed, her maternal grandparents, Mark and Estelle Talley, stepped in and adopted Jamie, also at the age of seven months. He has said that he had a very strict upbringing which earned him places in the Boy Scouts and church choir. During high school, he played quarterback for his high school team and was so good that he got press in Dallas newspapers. He studied music in college. He released a music album, "Peep This" (1994), and sang the theme song for his film, Any Given Sunday (1999). However, in 1989, his life changed when a girlfriend challenged him to appear on stage at a comedy club. In fact, he says he came up with his androgynous stage name because he found that women were prioritized for mic time on open stage nights. This led to her being cast in Rock (1991) and In Living Color (1990).
Fox had his own WB television show from 1996 to 2001, the sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show (1996), in which he played Jamie King Jr. Fox is also a Grammy Award-winning musician, having produced four albums that charted high on the US Billboard 200: "Unpredictable" (2005), which topped the chart, "Intuition" (2008), "Best Night of My Life" (2010), and "H Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses" (2015).
