The name stemmed from her talents associated with playing the piano. A lot of record labels were very interested in Alicia Keys because not only could she sing, but she could also write and produce her own music. To begin her professional music career Alicia Keys signed with Artista Records in 1998. With this first record company she was able to begin writing, producing, and recording her own albums. Clive Davis, a prestigious music producer was the owner of Artista Records until he decided to move to J Records.

Her talents have really been showcased for many years. While working with J Records, her debut effort was completed. This was a major accomplishment in her career because it kind of represented the first step to being well known. Her debut effort, which was called, \u201cSongs in A Minor\u201d, was released in 2001, and went platinum five times. Prior to the debut of the first album, Alicia Keys was featured on television to promote the album. One of the most remembered interviews she did in preparation for the album was with Oprah Winfrey. Due to the great publicity pre-album, this first album was very much so anticipated. After the release of the first album many critics praised the album for its lyrical maturity. In the following year, Alicia Keys acquired many awards for her work. At the 2002 Grammy\u2019s, she won Song of the Year, Best R&amp;B Song, Best R&amp;B Album, Best Female R&amp;B Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist.\u00a0These awards officially put Alicia on the map in the music world. Not only did the attention that she was given grow immensely, but also her fan base was really picking up.<\/p><p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><xml><br \/>\n <o:DocumentProperties><br \/>\n

In 2003, she released her sophomore album, which is titled, \u201cDiary of Alicia Keys\u201d. This album won Alicia several more awards, specifically Grammy\u2019s. Alicia Keys has won five Grammy\u2019s, which ties her with Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill for Most Grammy\u2019s Won by a Female Artist. \u201cDiary of Alicia Keys\u201d, sold more than 600,000 copies in the first week that it was released. Americas Intelligence Wire, which is a very well known review company, was very impressed with Keys\u2019 work. They said on many accounts that her willingness to be herself and not settle would take her very far in the music industry. Shortly after the release of this review, her first single titled, \u201cYou Don\u2019t Known My Name\u201d, made its way to the top ten on multiple music charts. Her second single titled, \u201cIf I Ain\u2019t Got You\u201d, which took more of a soulful approach, was very successful as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ac53caf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ac53caf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0d8c4cc\" data-id=\"0d8c4cc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-94f203c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"94f203c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bb8d917\" data-id=\"bb8d917\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cd0613 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cd0613\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alicia Keys\u2019 originality is what really brought her a long way. Shortly after the release of her second album, she joined The Ladies First Tour with many well-known artists, such as Beyonc\u00e9 and Missy Elliot. Joining this tour with many other successful artists inspired Alicia to collaborate with more artists in her music. One of the most well known collaborations that she did in her entire career was with Usher Raymond for the song titled, \u201cMy Boo\u201d. This song also added another Grammy to her collection. A lot of people were under the assumption that after her sophomore album, she would not be able to produce records that were fair as well as some of her first records. Alicia Keys proved these critics wrong with the release of an album in 2007 called, \u201cAs I Am\u201d. With this album she sold 740,000 copies in the first week, which was the most copies she had sold in the first week in her entire career. This album also awarded her two more Grammy\u2019s. In the next year she would collaborate with even more artists. She recorded \u201cAnother Way To Die\u201d with Jack White, which was used as the theme song for the James Bond film, Quantum of the Solace. Her duet on this track made her part of the first ever duet performed for a James Bond movie. In 2009, Alicia Keys recorded Empire State of Mind with award winning artist Jay-Z.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a469f30\" data-id=\"a469f30\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd96e68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"dd96e68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=fPgf2meEX1w&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-82998bd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"82998bd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b136519\" data-id=\"b136519\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6567cd5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6567cd5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-164a60c\" data-id=\"164a60c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0eaffdf elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"0eaffdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=Of7bL16ElcM&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ab112ac\" data-id=\"ab112ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c4f9cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c4f9cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To this day, Alicia Keys\u2019 music career has not slowed down one bit.

This appearance was even before she was practicing music. She was also seen on several other shows many years later. She was featured in Charmed, The Backyardigans, American Dreams, The Secret Life of Bees, The Nanny Diaries and in 2006 made her debut in a movie called Smokin\u2019 Aces. She won an award at the NAACP image awards for her role in The Secret Life of Bees. One of her most recent jobs included her becoming a judge the TV show, The Voice. Her job on the voice made her not only one of the first female judges, but the first female African American judge to be apart of the show.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-dcf88d8\" data-id=\"dcf88d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e63514 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"6e63514\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=wK98elR8kRs&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-190b398 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"190b398\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf89187\" data-id=\"cf89187\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f074347 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f074347\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contributions to Literature <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e3da9dc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e3da9dc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b9856e\" data-id=\"4b9856e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f90fa4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f90fa4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the main reasons why Alicia Keys is so well liked among many different crowds is due to the fact that she has made so many contributions to society outside of her music. Due to her ability to write her own music, Alicia Keys wrote a songbook of poems and lyrics. This would be the first book that she ever wrote and had published so of course there would be some heavy critiquing that came along with it being produced. In addition to the release of the book she was involved with many charities. Two of the first charities she contributed to were From Tha Ground Up and Keep A Child Alive. The purpose of these two charities was to assist children that had AIDS. In several interviews, she explained that all of her conscious efforts to help the community and the world were very personal for her and not just because she knew it would make people like her even more than they already did.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-08c7803 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"08c7803\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c412963\" data-id=\"c412963\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91792c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91792c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Her Passion for Empowering Women<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1886171 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1886171\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80dcde3\" data-id=\"80dcde3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-87738dc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"87738dc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-406bf17\" data-id=\"406bf17\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8d8cba elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"e8d8cba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=04omyqMvT2A&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e96c9c9\" data-id=\"e96c9c9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c51e01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c51e01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Currently, Alicia Keys has taken a different approach to her career.

She has always been the type to stay true to herself and not let others determine what defines her. In several interviews Keys has talked about the promotion of this new movement to not wear any make-up and embrace natural hair and natural beauty.

She was named one of the most influential people in Time Magazines, \u201cThe 100 Most Influential People\u201d. She lives by the motto, \u201cDo what\u2019s good for you\u201d. She really emphasizes how until you, \u201cdo what\u2019s good for you\u201d, you will never truly be comfortable with yourself and even happy with yourself. The all-natural movement that Alicia Keys has started has really played a key role in the influence of black girls and women. Society looks down upon natural hair and wearing no make-up so for an artist like Alicia Keys, who has such a large platform, to promote this movement, is very encouraging. Although she has really influenced black women and girls, she has really made an impact on all women and girls of all races. Women in general do not always feel as if they have a safe space to express themselves and just be themselves. After a lot of the interviews and promotion videos that Alicia Keys have come out with a lot of companies have started to accept the natural idea for their commercials and other types of promotions. Her significance is represented by her constant positive and uplifting attitude.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-929e6eb\" data-id=\"929e6eb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9281526 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9281526\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=GmbFPPiK6D8&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eb9780f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eb9780f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20b148f\" data-id=\"20b148f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87130ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"87130ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Personal Life<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-844e16b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"844e16b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-82e8946\" data-id=\"82e8946\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-58cfaf4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"58cfaf4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-699ffb9\" data-id=\"699ffb9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88da5ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"88da5ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

In July 2010, she married rapper Swizz Beatz. There was a lot of controversy with this marriage because Swizz Beatz left his wife to be with Alicia Keys. Through all the controversy they were still able to keep their marriage strong. Later on that year, the couple welcomed their first child named, Egypt Daoud Dean.
