Jaime Fox has a very familiar name, but the similarities with the “other” Jamie Foxx end at both of their abilities to soulfully wail “ Georgia on My Mind.” “When it was announced that Jamie Foxx would be performing with Rascal Flatts on last years’ CMA’s, my phone rang off the hook,” laughs the Maryland girl. “A lot of people have suggested I change my name, but it’s the name my mama gave me!”

After releasing her debut album, “Crossing Over” in July 2006, Jaime hit the road hard promoting the project without the help of a major label. “The bottom line,” notes Fox, “is that country listeners know good music, and the fan base is very inter-connected. If you can win over one country fan, you better believe that fan will spread the word. Country fans are extremely loyal.”

So, how do independent artists like Jaime get their music out to the public without spending a fortune? “Persistance!” she declares with a smile. “I network through sites like MySpace.com, and direct people to my website as much as possible. I keep my fans involved by posting video blogs, and making my sites interesting.” Her hard work has obviously paid off with her collection of over 13,000 friends and 700,000 song plays on MySpace in the last two years, and a Facebook page steadily growing.

Jaime also credits some of her fellow artist friends such as Danielle Peck, Trent Willmon, Ray Scott, Jeff Bates and Country Music Across America host, Storme Warren, for helping her win new fans. “These artists are blessed with some of the most loyal fans I’ve ever seen, and they’ve been so welcoming to me.” With these stars and others, Jaime has performed on the Travelin’, Inc. Country Music Across America cruise twice, and is slated to perform on the high seas again in December with Darryl Worley and James Otto. “These cruises have been essential to my success over the last couple years. You can’t ask for a more captive audience than one on a cruise ship!”

With all the time spent on the road, one might wonder how Jaime finds time to do anything else. “Honestly, I breathe music, so I spend most of my free time doing things related to it.” Jaime is a published songwriter, currently writing for legendary Muscle Shoals producer, Rick Hall, and enjoys co-writing and pitching her songs to other artists.

The fair-haired singer also has a big heart for the causes she believes in, and uses her music to bring attention to foundations like the National Foster Parent Association and the North American Council for Adoptable Children. “I was blessed with two parents who love me and gave me a beautiful childhood,” says Jaime. “Every child deserves that, and I’m doing what I can to help children find permanent homes.” She recently penned the national campaign song for Walk-Me-Home Foster Care Walk-a-thon with fellow songwriters, Si Hill and Bruce Wallace. Since releasing the song, Jaime has travelled throughout the United States performing at Foster Care events to help raise awareness for this important cause.

Jaime released a second album, "The Devil Was An Angel Too" which was released in October. This album, she says, is “a little lighter than the last. Now that I’ve spent two solid years playing in front of many audiences, I can see what touches people.” Jaime is co-writing all the songs on her next album, and plans to incorporate a soulful feel into the production. “I love that country music can blend in so many other genres, and still be accepted by the country audience. As a writer and performer, I never feel boxed in.”

It's hard to believe that in such a short time since she moved to Nashville, and with no label support, Jaime is already at the halfway point in her quest to release yet a third album. The singer hopes to release a new single in May, with a digital release of her latest project being released in early summer 2010.

Of course Jaime’s main purpose is to spread her music and her message far and wide, but she admits to secretly having one other dream fulfilled. “One day I’d like someone to go up to Jamie Foxx and say, ‘Hey, I thought you were supposed to be a blonde country singer!’”
