When the boy was just a year old, his parents decided to move to the capital of England London. A little later they again moved to Northampton. Despite the fact that Bertil was born in India, he considered himself a native Englishman, as he lived his whole life there. At the age of 16, inspired by his cousin, Bertil took up bodybuilding. At the age of 18, in 1969, he won the Mister Britain tournament among the juniors of the NABBA Federation. This only added strength and motivation to the athlete and the next years he is training with great zeal. In 1970, Fox once again went to the podium of the same tournament and again became a champion among juniors. In 1971, he is the third time to become a British Mister among juniors, and also wins the tournament "Mister Europe" among juniors. Then the champion takes a break from appearances for as long as five years. In 1976, he debuted in adult competitions. This year can be called triumphant. He won the "Mr. Britannia", "Mr. Europe", won "Mr. World", where he received the title of the most muscular and took the second place at "Mr. Universe". The defeat at Mr. Universes only provoked a bodybuilder. He returned in 1977 and became the absolute champion of "Mr. Universe". In 1978 and 79 Bertil Fox was among professionals at the "Universe Pro" tournament of the NABBA federation and twice became the absolute champion. Since 1981, Bertil moved to the professional division of the IFBB federation and performed there until 1994. Twice he finished second - in 1982 at the "Night of Champions" and in 1983 at the "Grand Prix of Switzerland", where he bypassed Lee Haney himself. Five times the champion took part in "Mr. Olympia" and his best result - the 5th place in 1983. Despite the fact that Bertil did not win any professional tournament, he managed to win fame and popularity. Fox was very flashy character, which would later lead him to tragedy, although at the competitions it helped him. Experts said that if Fox became a professional IFBB five years earlier, he could easily become a Mr. Olympia. And so he spent his best years on amateur bodybuilding. After the end of his career, he returned to St. Kitts, East India and opened his sports hall. September 30, 1997, the fate of the champion is very abruptly changed. He was convicted of double murder. The victims were his twenty-year-old wife Leisa Braun, who was the beauty queen and her 36-year-old mother Violet Brown. The crime scene was the hometown of St. Kitts, the weapon of the crime was a revolver registered on Bertil Fox. On May 22, 1998, the sportsman was sentenced to death by hanging. On September 27, 2002, the sentence was changed to life imprisonment. Bertil repeatedly applied for a review of the case, but so far the results have not brought.

Ever since she was a child she wanted to become an Actress.
Zaiesha remembers standing in the classroom in front of 15 students or sometimes even in front of her entire school assembly performing monologues, some of which she had made up on the spot. She remembers telling her classmates that she is going to become a professional actress one day, she also remembers her classmates doubting her, but that never deterred her because she knew she had a true passion for acting. "I have always loved acting!"
Whenever the electricity was working, Zaiesha would watch bootleg CD movies on the DVD player and imagine herself playing a certain role or character. "I could see myself very vividly on the Television".
Zaiesha's mother's mother worked in the cane fields, as did her mother until the untimely closing of the sugar manufacturing industry. Her father was a construction worker until his unfortunate death in 2007, since then her mother has been a single parent, supplementing the household income by knitting and crocheting local products which are sold to tourists who visit her beautiful Island. She is the seventh of nine siblings and all her life she has been living 'hand to mouth' "I truly know what it is like to go hungry, sometimes for days at a time". From as early as she can remember, Zaiesha decided that that is not the future she wants for herself and focused on achieving academic excellence at school. In High School and College, she tried her best to choose subjects that would prepare her for her endeavor as an actress. However, in St. Kitts and Nevis, the educational system, at that time did not allow for careers in theater arts or Acting for Film, therefore the only subjects available for her to choose for this type of career were English and Literature.
Moving forward to September 2019, Zaiesha was granted a Scholarship by The Liamigua Education Foundation to pursue her dreams. Soon, she would become a 'Summa Cum Laude' graduate of the New York Film Academy with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts Degree in Acting For Film. In New York, Zaiesha would often audition for many acting roles, however all of the roles asked her to 'Change her accent'. She later realized that there are not many roles available for people of Caribbean Descent and background. Hence, she decided to take matters into her own hand; she started writing. In 2020, Zaiesha started writing her own little skits, then she advanced to short films and later feature films. She wrote, acted and produced her own films; Zaiesha worked multiple jobs as a waitress in New York City and used her tiny paycheck to finance her films. She would later go on to produce three feature films, two of which are on Apple TV, Amazon Prime and Google Play. Her most recent feature film is called 'Pot vs. Kettle'.
Zaiesha wants to make her country proud, she was born and raised in St. Kitts and Nevis, a small Caribbean Federation with a population of 55,000 people and there have not been many persons from St. Kitts and Nevis who have excelled in the film industry. "My aim is to show the world that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can be whatever you choose to be, and those circumstances should be used as motivation for a better you".- American statesman, politician, legal scholar, military commander, lawyer, banker, and economist. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard, and the New York Post newspaper.

He's remained a constant factor as the years have shaped the band, styles have changed and evolved and other band members have come and gone. Latterly, he played percussion, having given way on the drums to Conrad Kelly in 1998. Grizzly was a proud member of the Pulse posse that won the Grammy award for Best Reggae Album in 1986 for their Babylon The Bandit album, though due to health concerns his final concert with the band took place in August 2001 in San Diego.- Producer
