Alicia Keys

This singer-songwriter enjoyed great success with her chart-topping debut for Clive Davis' J Records label. A classically trained pianist and former student at Manhattan's Professional Performance Arts School, Keys prompted a major label bidding war while still at college. After contributing "Dah Dee Dah (Sexy Thing)" to Columbia Records' Men In Black soundtrack, she cut her ties with the label to follow Arista Records founder Davis to his new venture, J Records. Keys collaborated with luminaries such as executive producer Jermaine Dupri and soul legend Isaac Hayes on her debut for the label. The exotic fusion of urban R&B, hip-hop and blues on the chart-topping Songs In A Minor, released in July 2001 and featuring the bestselling single "Fallin'", helped establish the album as a minor classic of modern soul. Keys was rewarded with five trophies at the following year's Grammy Awards, including Song Of The Year ("Fallin'"), Best R&B Album (Songs In A Minor) and Best New Artist.

Keys' follow-up album was two years in the making and was one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2003. Finally appearing in mid-December, The Diary Of Alicia Keys debuted at the top of the US charts in the first week of its release.
