Triumph over Tragedy by Jay Fox, a popular entertainer known both in his home, Bermuda, as well as in the USA and internationally, is the personal story of his journey from a beginning as a mixed-blood child of a single mother of limited means in a prejudicial and insular society to a highly popular singer, songwriter, performer, and respected hotel manager. How he handled this challenging double life and how it affected his growing need for meaning in his life leads to a stormy personal situation and his relocation to Crossville, a small town in Tennessee. When all was going well personally, with a family and a horse-training ranch, and professionally, with a busy schedule of performances and an enthusiastic following of loyal fans, tragedy struck when a wasp sting turned into an infectious disease, diagnosed as group-A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, which cost him his leg and threatened his very life. His faith in God and the support of his family, friends, and fans have led him to a future he could never have anticipated.

CHAPTER 1

THE JOURNEY

Jay's life journey began in the multicultural vacation paradiseof Bermuda. It has a musical tradition as rich and beautifulas the island itself. In his secular music, the soulful rhythms thatappeared in his romantic ballads appealed to a wide audience,where men and women of all ages appreciated the uniquequalities found in his work. Just as the incoming tide gentlyflooded the coral reefs in Bermuda's Castle Harbor, Jay's voicealso washed over his audience, exposing them to a wide rangeof emotions. Like other island entertainers, Jamaica's HarryBelafonte and Hawaii's Don Ho, Jay gave each of his listeners amemorable performance, which led to a long, successful careeron the island. Jay realized, however, that, just as the incomingtide carried him to the top of his professional career on theisland, the outgoing tide revealed something very importantwas missing from his life ... God.

Jay spent most of his career performing in hotels andnightclubs, and, on several occasions, he used his talent todo benefit concerts for Bermuda's handicapped and the KingEdward Memorial Hospital. He appeared on several local TVtalk shows and Christmas shows. Jay also produced his ownTV show, having special guest appearances and other localentertainers. On a few occasions, he travelled abroad as an agentof the Bermuda Department of Tourism to promote the Island.Then, one day, while attending a luncheon at a local church,his whole life changed: God spoke to him saying, "I'm goingto use your gift of singing to further my Kingdom." Jayrealized at that moment that God had been right beside himall along, and now He was leading him into a career of gospelsinging.

By sharing his experience with his friends and colleagues,he has become a witness for what God can do in your life whenyou let Him in.

With the help of his experience as a performer, his studyfor the Ministry, scripture reading, sermons and the 'StillSmall Voice' of God, Jay began writing and then recordingChristian songs. Jay's personal journey, directed by that 'StillSmall Voice,' led him from Bermuda to Tennessee. There, hesang gospel concerts every Sunday afternoon at Legends DinnerTheater in Crossville.

Jay is a member of The American Society of Composers,Authors and Publishers. In addition to his concerts, Jay has adistinguished recording career. He formed his Music Group ofCompanies - J. D. K. Fox, Music Group Inc., Manchester MusicMakers, Treetop Productions, Orpheus Sound Recordingsand Orpheus Music Ministry- to handle all of his recordingwork.

His first album, Signature was both an artistic andcommercial success; it contained his own compositions as wellas music by other island entertainers. Signature was followedby six other easy-listening albums: Reflections, ChristmasClassics, Island Of Paradise, Jay Fox Live At the Princess,More Than Ever, and Something Special. His latestprojects have all been gospel music: After the Sunset, It'sMy Desire, Jay Fox Live in Nashville, and Greater Faithfeaturing Jay Fox.

His latest single I Came to Find My Jesus was releasedfrom his CD After the Sunset. It is regularly heard onChristian radio stations across the country.

Over the years as a songwriter, Jay has been inspired bywriters like Bob Allen, writer of the classic Chances Are,sung by Johnny Mathis, and singers like Andy Williams, PerryComo, Harry Belafonte, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Today,Jay is inspired by some of the best inspirational writers in gospelmusic: Lanny Wolfe's Surely the Presence of the Lord isin This Place, Joel Hemphill's It Is No Secret and Bill andGloria Gaither's Because He Lives.

After singing in hotels for many years, he rededicated hislife and his love of music and singing to promote the Gospel ofJesus Christ in word and song. He is now a Song Evangelist, forthe Church of the Nazarene, East Tennessee District. Sundaymornings, when not singing at concerts, you can find Jayleading a Bible study or leading as Minister of Music in hislocal church. In addition to his concerts, he has given his timeto present Bible studies weekly at Health and RehabilitationCenters for seniors in Crossville, Tennessee.

Thousands of fans and friends Jay has made over the yearshave expressed that they feel blessed by his messages throughmusic and song.
