Alicia would attend the prestigious Professional Performance Arts School of Manhattan, where she studied both jazz and classical composition, crediting influences ranging from Nina Simone to Stevie Wonder to Oscar Peterson to Frederic Chopin to Tupac Shakur.After graduating as valedictorian of her class, she entered Columbia University at just 16, but soon took a leave to pursue her professional career.
Writing songs which reflected both her roots and her eclectic musical education, Alicia changed her last name to Keys and signed with Clive Davis’ J Records which released the five-time Grammy-winning Songs in A Minor in 2001.
Skyrocketing to superstardom, she’s since collected four more Grammys, plus eleven Billboard Awards, three American Music Awards, two MTV Video Awards, three NAACP Image Awards, six Soul Train Awards, a VH1 Award and a People’s Choice Award.
