Alicia Keys in Belgrade

Alicia Keys in Belgrade

Alicia Keys, an American R&B, soul, and neo soul singer-songwriter, pianist, and actress, will hold a concert in Belgrade (Serbia) on 11th October 2008. Keys has sold over thirty million albums worldwide and has won numerous awards, including eleven Grammy Awards, seventeen Billboard Music Awards, and three American Music Awards. She is often called the "Princess of Soul".

One of the few artists who can capture an old-school vibe and make if feel refreshingly new, Alicia tackles this feat once again with an album she describes as "Janis Joplin meets Aretha Franklin." Punctuated with rich powerful vocals, Alicia's vocal muses can be felt on songs ranging from the anthemic "Superwoman" and power-charged "Go Ahead" to the misty-eyed ballad "Like You Never See Me Again" and the soulful "Sure Looks Good To Me." 

Since the 2001 debut of Songs In A Minor, the New York native has built an unparalleled repertoire of hits and accomplishments with over 20 million albums sold worldwide! Songs In A Minor, which spawned her signature hit "Fallin," sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and garnered five Grammy Awards including Best New Artist and Best R&B Album. Alicia's follow-up disc, 2004's The Diary of Alicia Keys, which is currently 7 times platinum, captured four Grammy Awards and featured the hits "If I Ain't Got You," "You Don't Know My Name," and "Karma." With the 2005 release of Unplugged, which has sold 2 million copies, Keys became the first female R&B artist to have three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 album chart in as many releases.

On September 13, 2008 Keys has been inducted into the All time Hot 100 Artist by the Billboard Hot 100. She is one of the few artists of her generation to be mentioned.
