ALICIA KEYS

This bright and accomplished performer was born January 25, 1981, in Manhattan, New York. Alicia began her career at the age of four with a role in the "Wizard of Oz". She is a true musical prodigy whose multi-dimensional gifts emerged at a very early age. Her wit and intelligence are almost too hard to perceive.

Alicia will take modern R&B soul to a whole new level of entertainment and ambition. Highly sought after by record labels, Alicia's celebrity talent has caused old-fashioned bidding wars in her honor. Completing high school at 16, she entered Columbia University, and continued her studies in music, writing and performing. In 1999, Alicia went to work with Cleve Davis at J Records and cut 'Songs in A Minor'. This release sent Alicia to the top of the charts and her star status was confirmed.
