RouX's beginning's sound like something from 'The French Lieutenant's Woman", but fortunately he was adopted by a wonderful couple who provided him with an exceptionally loving and nurturing childhood.

He was raised and educated in Dorset and Somerset in the UK. His adoptive father died in 1969. He remains very close with his adoptive mother, Madge, who is now in her nineties.

RouX met his current wife, Kay, in 2000 and is the father to four stepchildren, Charlotte, Luke, Shirelle, Rhys and their youngest daughter, Jasmine.

RouX has traced some of his birth family relations, but has discovered that his birth mother, Audrey, died many years ago at just 44 years old. RouX is continuing to search archives and registers and knock on doors, but is yet to track down his elusive birth father.

For most of his life RouX has been a soul music fan. Surprisingly he has only recently begun a singing career. His voice reveals both the pain and the love he has encountered in his life and his range of experiences is reflected in his vocal range, which enables him to switch effortlessly from deep sensual bass to a smooth floating falsetto.

RouX is equally comfortable singing Jazz, Doo Wop, Swing, R & B, Pop and his main musical passion - Motown.
