Everybody is always impressed with his work, even those unfamiliar with his work. He definitely looks beyond the standard and norms in what he is working on. and always looking to expand.” --Steve Berlin, noted producer (Los Lobos, Super Seven, Aztex, Michelle Shocked)

The Mexican Roots CD received a Grammy for best Mexican-American Album. She quickly followed with 'Short Stories' produced by Steve Berlin on Hightone Records.

With a vocal style that caused comparisons to Etta James and Sarah Vaughn impossible not to make, Random Lengths Magazine refers to Fox as so extraordinary that she’s incredible. Additionally, Fox is an awesome and gifted vocal talent with bi-lingual singing abilities. On cuts like “Cumbia,” “Isla,”or “Sangre Azteca,” Fox’s vocals sets you at ease like you’re cruising on a sunny afternoon lulling you into a state of obliviousness to traffic jams on the freeways leading to downtown Los Angeles. The music on each of these are on a incredibly high level that you would assume get heavy rotation on stations like KJAZZ. - Biography
