Jamie Foxx has gained a million-selling, Grammy-winning status as a contemporary R&B singer and songwriter on television and on the big screen. Born Eric Morlon Bishop, Jr., Foxx developed his comedic, acting and musical talents at the same time as he grew up. He played piano and choir in his Baptist church and went on to study composition and classical music while attending college in San Diego, California. In 1994, after becoming an actor, Foxx released his debut album, Peep This, on the 20th Century label. Despite a low profile and limited radio presence, the album was scaled to 12 on Billboard's R&B chart.

Until the release of Twista's Kanye West-produced 'Slow Jamz' single at the end of 2003, it seemed as if Foxx's music-making was just a one-off; something to get out of his system. Every couple of years, as time allowed, the actor returned to music. Intuition, released in 2008, was another highly collaborative collection that included productions from Timbaland, Just Blaze, Tricky Stewart, and The-Dream. Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses, Foxx's fifth album, was released in 2015 with guest appearances by Chris Brown, Wale, Pharrell Williams, and Fabolous.
