Alicia Keys Tickets

Alicia Keys is easily one of the most successful and accomplished artist of the 2000s. Her smooth blend of age-old and new age R&B made her an instant success when her first album, Songs in A Minor, dropped in 2001. The album sold 50,000 copies on its first day on its way to ten million units, and the debut single, Fallin’, peaked at number on the charts. But all the commercial success didn’t deny her critical acclaim. At the 2002 Grammys, she walked away with five statuettes, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year. She didn’t fall prey to the Best New Artist curse, however, as her second album reached number one on both the pop and R&B charts and produced two more number one R&B singles. Alicia Keys’ career has rarely slowed down since, producing three more number one R&B albums and an astounding twenty-eight Grammy nominations and fifteen wins. Even her 2005 Unplugged release showcasing her performance skills enjoyed tremendous success, becoming the first album from the MTV series to debut at number one since Nirvana’s classic 1994 appearance. Several of her best-known singles, from My Boo to No One and Girl on Fire have gone platinum and remained R&B radio staples despite steep competition. In addition to being a magnificent vocalist, Alicia Keys is a talented musician, able to play instruments as varied as the piano, cello, guitar and drums. It’s no wonder that in addition to all those Grammys, Alicia Keys has picked up seventeen NAACP Image Awards as an inspiration to young people and performers everywhere.
