Alicia Keys is an American recording artist who is most famous for the single “Fallin”.  Her debut album was released by J Records and was called “Songs in A Minor”.  The album became an immediate commercial success and sold over 12 million copies all over the world. The American singer was born in Hell’s Kitchen, an area in Manhattan.  She was the only child of Teresa and Craig Cook.  Her father is of African American descent, while her mother is half Italian and half English.  Due to her biracial heritage, Keys was able to relate to a multitude of cultures and this is certainly noticeable in her single releases. Keys also has a splendid personal life.  She got married in 2010, while expecting her first child.  The couple choose a rather unusual ceremony for their wedding as well as the blessing of their unborn child, since they opted for a special Zulu ceremony that took place in Johannesburg, South Africa.  In October of that same year, Alicia Keys gave birth to her first son and named him Egypt Daoud Ibarr Dean.   On the day of their fourth wedding anniversary, the couple announced that they were expecting a second child by posting a picture on their Instagram accounts.  Their second child is expected by the end of December 2014. Next to her singing career and her marriage to Swizz Beatz, Keys is mainly known as an accomplished pianist.  Her love for the piano is also very noticeable in her music, since she uses piano in the majority of her songs. Keys is also the co-founder and global ambassador of a charitable organization called “Keep a Child Alive”.  The charity focusses on providing medicine to families struck by HIV and aids in Africa.  Alicia Keys is also a global ambassador for the fight against AIDS in Africa and cooperated with many stars, including Bono from U2, to support her cause.
