Anyone who is inspired by a person who makes great music and song lyrics mixed with a pianist extraordinaire, producer, author, news correspondent, award winner, philanthropist, and actress than that person will love Alicia Keys. This impressive lady was born and bred in New York and was greatly inspired by other artists such as Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder. Ever since Alicia Keys was seven years old she had been getting formal training in classical piano and jazz styling’s of people such as Oscar Peterson, Fats Waller, and Marian McPartland. Alicia Keys was not introduced to songwriting and producing until she attended the Professional Performing Arts School taught by Miss Aziza. Keys was then recognized by manager Jeff Robinson at a Harlem PAL at the age of 14. She then started performing at places in the area such as small clubs and street corners.
Keys got a scholarship to attend Columbia University two year later but only attended there for a short period of time before she started her music career and left the university. Alicia Keys will admit that its not an easy road but she knew she could handle it with her eclectic education and her early life lessons. This is also what inspired her to keep on trying and she ended up with a five time Grammy winning 2001 inaugural release of Songs In A Minor with Clive Davis’ J Records. This song sold over 235,000 copies just in the first week of its release and topped the Billboard 200 charts. This song came to reach 10 million sales worldwide in later weeks. Keys has a team of many people who keep her inspired and encouraged. Her team includes people such as her manager Jeff Robinson, President of MBK Entertainment, producer Kerry “Krucial” Brothers, A&R executive Peter Edge and Davis, Chairman and CEO of BMG Label Group, and her many mentors.
Keys says “My team offers me different perspectives, but always recognizes the artist in me.” She also says “They encourage me to be who I am creatively.” Alicia Keys has been on tour after tour and has had many successful albums and debuts. Just in the year of 2003 The Diary of Alicia Keys was released, this sold more than 618,000 copies just in the first week alone in the United States. The Diary of Alicia Keys was also certified as platinum seven times and cumulated another four Grammys. Keys was very satisfied and excited when the album was finished because she said she felt as if it all came together as one and was happy to be able to share such music with the rest of the world. In October of 2005 she released another three time Grammy nominated album called Alicia Keys Unplugged which was an album of her live concert recording. This album held some of her most honored music and featured artist such as Common, Mos Def, Damian Marley, and Adam Levine from Maroon 5.
