With the runaway success of his dance hit, “Aunt Jackie” the Harlem native has joined a growing movement of young entertainers making the “hop” hip again. Now with the backing of hit-maker Jermaine Dupri and the Island Urban Music, Fox will take his creativity to a whole other level. He made the song and put it on Myspace. In January he decided to make a video. It was shot on 125th right in front of the Apollo with a home video camera. After some editing on his home computer Fox put the video up on Youtube and it quickly earned over 100,000 hits. However,the song would not remain an Internet phenomenon. Hot 97 DJ Enuff was bombarded with requests for the song at Madison Square Garden. Enuff looked up the video on Myspace, ripped the audio from the video and played it on the air. DJ Envy realized that he wasn’t signed, so he made the phone call to JD and by the next day we had an offer in the works. In the ever-changing music industry Jason Fox is following principles of the past to become a shining example of the future; Young entrepreneurs with a love of music taking their art straight to the people by any means necessary.
