Jamie Foxx is a triple threat. As an actor, musician and comedian, Foxx has become a master of each craft, from his days on In Living Color to his Oscar-winning turn as Ray Charles in 2004’s Ray to his newfound success as a recording artist.

Foxx’s latest focus, singing, has also been one of his oldest talents. He sang in the church choir as a child, and studied classical music and composition in college. Comedy was a bit of a detour for Foxx, who was born Eric Marlon Bishop in 1967. But he has returned to his first love, and released his third album, Intuition, last year.

Intuition blew up the charts when radio DJs heard the record’s second single, “Blame It,” featuring T-Pain. The song has been ubiquitous on the airwaves and in nightclubs across the country this year. A fourth album is rumored to be in the works.

Jamie Foxx performs at the Joint July 3 and 4 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $45.50, $71, $91, $121, $191 and $246.v
