Alicia Keys Biography

 New York-born Alicia Keys began taking piano lessons at age seven at her mother's insistence. She proved to be such a prodigy that she was later accepted into he prestigious Professional Performance Arts School of Manhattan, where she majored in choir. Not only her musical talent but also her grades proved to be so exceptional that she was allowed to graduate, as valedictorian, at age 16. In 1998, she signed with Arista Records, and wrote, produced and recorded her own albums. In 1999, she left Arista to join J Records, headed by legendary music impresario 'Clive Davis (I)' (qv), and her success has been meteoric. Her 2001 debut album, "Songs in A Minor," sold six million copies and garnered five Grammys. Her album "Diary" won her four more Grammys in 2005.

Alicia Keys Personal Quotes
  • [on the use of women, sex and sleaze in rap/hip-hop videos] Oh my God, the [hip-hop] videos! The imagery is so awful! I just can't get with it at all. The best thing I can say about it is that sometimes you have to see that kind of stuff so as to have a more balanced view about why it's so bad.
  • I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.
  • Keep a Child Alive is my passion and my mission.
  • I love 'Bono' (qv). I really respect what he has done for Africa and how he has used his fame to do good in the world. I hope I can do half as much in my life.
  • I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people.
  • [interview in InStyle, 9/06] My mom always said, "Don't date a guy who thinks he's prettier than you".
  • I think music and socialism and politics have always gone hand in hand. As artists we used to be way more instrumental in providing a soundtrack to the heartbeat of what's going on in the world. We all don't have to think the same thing but it's important to state what we think. There is such a fear of termination of one's career if they have any intelligent thought about politics and that's messed up.
  • I have big everything on the bottom but I love my legs. You've got to love what's yours.
  • I love my heritage! I have my mother who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.
