Alicia Keys seemingly came out of nowhere in the summer of 2001, storming up the charts with her braids in tow and several heaping helpfuls of soul as well. But Keys is no pre-fab diva; she's been studying music since age five and began writing songs at age fourteen. She wrote (or co-wrote) and produced most of the songs on her debut, Songs In A Minor, and subsequent singles have proven she's no one-hit wonder. She took home five Grammy Awards in 2002 (including Best New Artist and Song of the Year), and returned triumphantly with The Diary of Alicia Keys the following year, racking up more hit singles ("You Don't Know My Name," "If I Ain't Got You"), and winning four more Grammys. One of the most talented and likeable R&B superstars in the game today, Keys shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
