==Early life and influences==
Born Carl Stephen Hancock in Harlem, New York,〔("Carl Hancock Rux" ). eMusic. Retrieved May 30, 2013.〕 Rux's biological mother (Carol Jean Hancock) suffered from chronic mental illness, diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and institutionalized shortly after the birth of his older brother. Born the result of an illegitimate pregnancy (while his mother was under the care of a New York City operated psychiatric institution) the identity of Rux's biological father, and that of his younger brother, are unknown. Rux's older brother lived with extended family members, his younger brother was placed in foster care and Rux lived under the guardianship of his maternal grandmother, Geneva Hancock (née Rux), until her death of cirrhosis of the liver (due to alcoholism).〔Stapleton, Lara (January 21, 2009). ("Carl Hancock Rux With Lara Stapleton" ). ''The Brooklyn Rail''.〕 At four years of age he entered the New York City foster care system where he remained until he was legally adopted (at the age of fifteen) by his great uncle, James Henry Rux (a WWII veteran) and his wife Arsula (née Cottrell). Exposed to jazz music by his adoptive parents, including the work of Oscar Brown Jr., John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln, Rux also became a member of the Harlem Writers Workshop, a summer journalism training program for inner city youth founded by African-American journalists, sponsored by Columbia University and The Xerox Corporation. He entered the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts where he studied visual art and eventually double majored in voice,〔 during which time he sang with the Boys Choir of Harlem and Hezekiah Walker's Love Fellowship gospel choir. Upon graduation from high school he took private acting classes at both HB studios, Gertrude Jeanette's Hadley Players as well as privately with actor Robert Earl Jones (father of actor James Earl Jones). Before graduating high school, Rux was briefly reunited with his older brother who was suffering from AIDS related dementia.〔ort-greene.thelocal.nytimes.com/2012/02/21/carl-hancock-rux-—-an-artist-who-is-all-about-the-work/〕 Shortly after his older brother's death due to AIDS related complications, Rux continued his studies at Columbia University, American University of Paris as well as the University of Ghana at Legon. Rux wrote theater, film and music criticism for several magazines and publications including ''Essence magazine'', ''Interview magazine'' (and later) ''American Theater'' magazine.
