Editorial Review:
Even as a kid, Alicia knew music was in her heart. Fortunately, Alicia was a child of New York City, a place offering everything from free concerts in Central Park to the background music of street and subway performers. She had the chance to take advantage of the culture the city provided. She also had the chance to take advantage of the quality education. At 12 years old, she auditioned and was accepted to the Professional Performing Arts School. For Alicia, the school was an artistic playground. Soon, she was on her way to her first recording contract.

As a teen, Alicia wasn’t about to be pushed around by any of the record companies. After disagreements with Columbia Records, Alicia was able to record her own music, her own way, for Clive Davis and his newly formed J Records. Her debut album, Songs in A Minor, along with her hit single, Fallin’, have put Alicia in the winner’s circle.
