Biography
Isaac Hayes is a man whose prolific artistry touches many different areas: as an accomplished Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Award winning composer/musician, published author, in-demand actor and on-air radio personality, Hayes’ illustrious career spans five decades.
In 2007, five years after his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, the public persona of Isaac Hayes is surging forward with a momentum usually associated with teen pop stars and visiting royalty. In fact, Hayes is resident royalty for more than a decade, a coronated King of Ghana in western Africa where he is a member of the Royal Family. Instead of a palace, he built an 8,000 square foot educational facility through his Isaac Hayes Foundation. He is most certainly the only King on earth with an Oscar, Grammy awards and #1 gold records. Also the voice of “Chef” on the animated TV series South Park, and the author of a best-selling cookbook.
