American singer/songwriter and pianist Alicia Keys became an international star in the early 2000s with her singular mix of classic and contemporary R&B. Behind the number one pop hit “Fallin’,” her debut album, Songs in A Minor, sold more than 50,000 copies during its first day of availability in 2001 and eventually moved over ten million units worldwide, thus setting the stage for the then-20-year-old’s career. Her 2003 sophomore follow-up, The Diary of Alicia Keys, cemented her popularity and she spent the next decade refining her signature sound, racking up platinum certifications with additional chart-toppers As I Am (2007) and Girl on Fire (2012). In addition to her solo efforts, Keys also collaborated on a number of notable hits with the likes of Jay-Z (“Empire State of Mind”), Jack White (the Bond theme “Another Way to Die”), Usher (“My Boo”), and more.
