After many
performances at top churches around the US, Tracey got her first shot at
stardom when she made a guest appearance at the 2012 Miss Liberia beauty
passion in Philadelphia. Her rendition of Whitney Houston’s "I look to
you" and Carrie Underwood's “Jesus Take the Wheel” songs has claimed local
and international attention.

Jones has made two incredible songs which are number one on the local musical
chart in Liberia, West Africa. According to her dad, Mr. Victor Jones, he
noticed Tracey’s love for music when she was just a toddler. He also stated to
Tmz Liberia Magazine, “each time she was driving with us in the car, she would
tell us to keep quiet to listen to whatever was playing on the radio."
At the age of
seven, he discovered that Tracey had the gift of singing and, therefore,
started to work on her vocal. With his guidance, she recorded her debut album,
titled “Just like you” and currently a new album titled “Give you praise."
In August 2012,
little Tracey visited her home country for the first time where she was
received a rousing welcome from several kids and an array of dignitaries
including the Vice President of Liberia, Joseph Boakai. During her visit to
Liberia, Miss Jones toured many hospitals and orphanages where she saw kids
dying from HIV, Malaria and diarrhea. It was during one of those touching
visits that little Tracey saw the need to help underprivileged children in need
of healthcare in Liberia.
Armed with her gift
of music, Tracey decided to form a non-profit organization called the Tracey
Foundation to help provide healthcare for children in Liberia. Under the
mission “Let the Children Live," the goal of the Tracey foundation is to
build a 200 room children hospital for children in Liberia.
When asked about
the motivation behind her vision, Tracey told Tmz Liberia magazine that she
wishes to serve as an inspiration to other young children around the world. The
Tracey Foundation is currently open to partner with churches, organizations as
well as individuals on this endeavor. She has already started the fundraising
by selling lemonade and chocolate bars at various Walt-Marts in North Carolina.
She is also planning a charity fundraiser on Mother’s to help fund the project.
