Alicia Keys (born Alicia Augello-Cook) (born January 25, 1981) is an American R&B/soul singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, pianist, and actress. Keys is a renowned artist who has sold over 25 million albums and singles worldwide and won numerous awards, including eleven Grammys, ten Billboard Music Awards and three American Music Awards. The road to success wasn’t an easy one. Of mixed-race parents, Terri Augello & Craig Cook, she grew up in Harlem, New York City, New York, USA. To cope with the street life, Alicia turned to piano-playing at the age of 7. She attended the Professional Performing Arts High School and rehearsed with vocal coach Conrad Robinson at the Harlem Police Athletic League Community center until at age 16. During this time, Alicia graduated as her high school valedictorian and was accepted to attend Columbia University. Conrad introduced Keys to his brother Jeff, Alicia’s ‘batman”, who began searching for the right label.

Right before starting college, Alicia signed her first deal with Columbia Records, and had to make the difficult decision to leave college in order to pursue her musical dreams. However, Alicia later left Columbia Records due to creative differences. Keys felt they were intruding upon her artistic freedom, and she wanted out. At age 19, Alicia’s wish came true when Clive Davis, who headed up Arista Record at the time, came up with the money to buy Keys out of Columbia and had the same vision as Alicia. She had found a new home with Clive Davis and when he established his new label J Records, Alicia moved with him. Finally, she had a home; a place she could be herself.
