New York City, New York (2000 – present)

Alicia Keys (born Alicia Augello-Cook; January 25, 1981) is an American Soul/r&b , composer, record producer, pianist, cellist and actress. Keys is a renowned artist who has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won numerous awards, including twelve Grammys, seventeen Billboard Music Awards, and five American Music Awards. The road to success wasn’t an easy one. Of mixed parentage (Terri Augello and Craig Cook), she grew up in Harlem, New York City, New York. To cope with the street life, Keys turned to piano-playing at the age of seven. She attended the Professional Performing Arts High School and rehearsed with vocal coach Conrad Robinson at the Harlem Police Athletic League Community center until age 16. During this time, she worked at a professional standard with all of her schoolwork and received straight A’s. She graduated as her high school valedictorian and was accepted to attend Columbia University. Robinson introduced Keys to his brother Jeff, Alicia’s ‘batman’, who began searching for the right label.

Just before starting college, Keys 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, she later left Columbia Records due to creative differences.
