Entertaining Across Generations: T-Fox's Journey from Motown to Virginia
Some people carry stardust wherever they go, and entertainment legend T-Fox sprinkles it generously throughout this captivating conversation with host Chris Keaton. From his childhood surrounded by Motown royalty to Vegas stardom and now his revolutionary impact on Roanoke's entertainment scene, T-Fox's journey exemplifies what happens when extraordinary talent meets unwavering persistence.
Growing up in Detroit, T-Fox had a front-row seat to musical history as his aunt, Sylvia Moy—Motown's first female songwriter—welcomed legends like Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and Diana Ross into her studio. By age ten, he was already writing jingles for McDonald's and Burger King, setting the foundation for a remarkable career. His path took him from San Diego (where he unexpectedly crossed paths with Bill Clinton before his presidency) to Las Vegas, where a planned 25-night engagement at the Tropicana Hotel evolved into a 15-year residency performing 47 songs nightly in marathon four-and-a-half-hour shows.
The conversation reveals how divine timing brought T-Fox to Virginia during the pandemic, accepting an invitation to become entertainment ambassador for Rosie's Gaming Emporium. After over 400 shows and nine sold-out dinner performances at Hotel Roanoke, he's now launching Fox City's Jazz Club, reviving his Fox City Band with top local talent including Brian Mesko and David Ferguson.
Throughout his extraordinary journey, T-Fox has remained grounded in the present moment while building on past successes to create future opportunities. "Don't ever think that you can't do nothing," he advises, "because if you don't try, you don't know. All you can do is try." His philosophy echoes Keaton's shared quote: "Surround yourself with people who remind you more of the future than of the past"—a fitting description of T-Fox himself, who continues reinventing while honoring his musical roots.
