The girl's father is African American Craig Cook, who works as a steward, and her mother Teresa Ogello, in whose blood Italian, Scottish and Irish blood flowed, was an assistant lawyer and actress.

As Keyes said in an interview, being born into an interracial family was an advantage for her, as it gave her the opportunity to feel connected with different cultures. Craig and Teresa broke up when their daughter was just 2 years old. Alisha continued to live with her mother in a poor Manhattan area.

From early childhood, the girl diligently attended music and dance classes, and already at the age of 4 she first appeared on television in the series "The Cosby Show", where she performed a cameo role in an episode of Slumber Party. From the age of 7, Alisha began to get involved in playing the piano, later mastering the compositions of Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. At the age of 12, Keyes became a student of the prestigious performing arts school, where she chose choral singing lessons as her core subject. 2 years after the start of her studies, the girl composed her first songs.

The singer's career began with a trial contract with the So So Def label and taking part in the recording of the soundtrack for the 1997 sci-fi film Men in Black. It was Keyes' debut professional work. On June 5, 2001, the presentation of Alisha's first studio album, which was called Songs in A Minor, took place. The album became commercially successful, selling 12 million copies worldwide, and the girl herself was named the best artist in the R&B genre and the best new artist.

In addition, the debut album brought the singer 5 Grammy statuettes in 2002, one of which was in the Song of the Year nomination for the sensual composition Fallin '. Alisha became the second American performer after Lauren Hill, who was fortunate enough to go on stage 5 times within one evening.

The following year, the talented performer recorded her second studio album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, which repeated the success of the first one - it sold 8 million copies worldwide, and also won 4 Grammy-2005 nominations. The lyrical composition If Ain't Got You, written and produced by the singer herself, became the winner in the category "Best female vocal work in the genre of rhythm and blues.

In 2006, Alisha released a concert album, Unplugged, which immediately took the top spot on the Billboard-200 chart. Until then, only the rock group Nirvana achieved such success in 1994.

As an actress, Keyes has appeared in television series such as American Dreams, The Dreamers. And the actress first appeared on the big screens after taking part in the filming of the thriller "Smokin 'Aces" in 2006. Alisha reincarnated as a heroine named Georgia Sykes. Ryan Reynolds and Andy Garcia also starred in the film.

In 2007, the singer's discography was expanded with another work - the album As I Am, which received 3 Grammy statuettes and sold 5 million copies. Her acting career at this time also did not stand still - the girl played one of the key roles in the drama "The Secret Life of Bees". This work earned the young actress a nomination for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Award.

December 1, 2009 saw the light of the 4th disc called The Element of Freedom, which took 1st place in the British album chart. Girl on Fire, the fifth work of the performer, was released 3 years later and took 5th place in the American album charts.

Keys' 6th studio album, Here, was released on November 3, 2016. He was positively received by music critics and listeners. Here in the first week reached the top positions in the Billboard-200 chart.

Alisha Keys's music is a mixture of jazz, soul and R&B with an abundant use of keyboards. The leitmotif of her work is love and a broken heart, the empowerment of women. The woman calls Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Jay Z and many others her main inspirers among musicians.

The singer's style can be described as gospel and vintage soul, diluted with drums and bass. Keyes prefers not to limit himself to narrow frames and experiments with pop-rock sound.

Alisha Keys is happy in her personal life with her husband Kasim Dean (creative pseudonym Swizz Beatz), who is a famous rapper and composer. The closed wedding ceremony took place in the middle of summer 2010 on the French island of Corsica, and on October 14 of the same year they had their first child - a boy named Egypt Daud Din. On December 27, 2014, their family was waiting for an addition - the second child of Alisha and Qasim, Genesis Ali Dean, was born. In addition, the couple is raising two more children from the man's previous relationship.
