Ua lilo ʻo Alicia Keys i mea ʻike maoli no ka ʻoihana hōʻikeʻike hou. ʻO ka helehelena maʻamau a me ka leo akua o ka mea mele i lanakila i ka puʻuwai o nā miliona.
ʻO ka mea mele, haku mele a he kaikamahine nani wale nō ke nānā aku, no ka mea, aia kāna repertoire i nā mele mele kūʻokoʻa.
Ka moolelo o Alisha Keyз
No kona helehelena maʻamau, hiki i ke kaikamahine ke mahalo i kona mau mākua. He ʻApelika ʻAmelika kona makuakāne a he Italia kona makuahine. Ua ulu ke kaikamahine i loko o kahi ʻohana piha ʻole. I ka liʻiliʻi o nā mahina ʻo Alisha, ua haʻalele kona makuakāne ʻo Craig Cook iā lākou me kona makuahine.
He mea paʻakikī ke manaʻoʻiʻo, akā ua hoʻohana ʻo Alisha i kona wā kamaliʻi ma kekahi o nā wahi pilikia loa o New York. Ua ulu ka hewa ma kēia wahi, kahi i kapa ʻia e nā kamaʻāina ʻo "Hell's Kitchen". A hiki i nā ʻōpio ʻōpio ke loaʻa koke i ka waiʻona a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau.
ʻOiai ua hoʻohana ʻo Alisha i kona wā kamaliʻi ma kahi ʻāpana hemahema, ʻaʻole ia i hoʻōki iā ia mai ke puka ʻana mai kekahi o nā kula hanohano loa ma New York - ʻo ke kula ʻoihana hana ma Manhattan. Ua komo ke kaikamahine i ke kula ma ka papa piano.
E like me nā ʻōpio āpau, ua pilikia ʻo Keys, a ua haʻi ʻo ia i kona makuahine e pili ana i kona manaʻo e haʻalele i ke kula. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Teresa Ogello, ka makuahine o ke kaikamahine: "Hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalele i kekahi mea, akā mai ʻaʻa ʻoe e noʻonoʻo e haʻalele ʻoe i nā paia o kahi kula mele." A no laila, ua puka 'o Alisha mai ke kula me ka māka maika'i loa.
ʻOiai e aʻo ana i ka hoʻokani piano, ua hoʻokomo kona makuahine iā Keys i ka papa mele. Wahi a ka mea mele pono'ī, he hoʻoholo maikaʻi loa ia. ʻO nā haʻawina leo i hiki i ke kaikamahine ke aʻo e hoʻomalu i kona leo. I ka makahiki 14, ua kākau ʻo ia i ke mele Butterflyz, a ma hope i lilo i ʻāpana o ka mele mele mua loa a ka mea mele.
Me he mea lā ua ʻike mua ʻia kona wā e hiki mai ana. Ua "luu poʻo" nā kī i loko o ke ao mele a loaʻa ka lanakila nui. Hoʻokani mau ʻo Alisha i ka piano a hiki i kēia lā. Ua mālama ʻo ia i ke aloha i nā mele kahiko, a i kēlā me kēia manawa, ʻike ʻia kēia ma kāna mau haku mele.
Ua maikaʻi loa ʻo Alicia ma ke kula. Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kula kiʻekiʻe, hoʻonohonoho kona makuahine iā ia no ke komo ʻana i ke Kulanui ʻo Columbia. A laila ʻae ʻo ia me kona makuahine a komo i ke kulanui. Ma hope o ʻehā pule o ke aʻo ʻana, haʻalele ʻo Alisha i ke kulanui.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna ʻoihana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kāna hoʻoholo ponoʻī: “Ua ʻike mau wau ʻo kaʻu ʻoihana ka mele. ʻAʻole oʻu mihi i ka loaʻa ʻole o kaʻu kula kiʻekiʻe. ʻO koʻu leo a me ka holomua ka "diploma" nui.
Alicia Keys Star Trek
ʻAʻole maikaʻi loa ke komo ʻana i ke kahua nui no Alisha. Kakaʻikahi ka poʻe i ʻike i ka mea hoʻokani ʻōpio.
Ma hope o ke kau inoa ʻana i kahi ʻaelike me Jermain Dupri, ua hoʻomaka koke ka kaulana o ka mea hoʻokani.
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana i alakaʻi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka haku mele mua me ka inoa mālamalama ʻo Dah Dee Dah (Sexy Thing). Ma hope mai, lilo kēia mele i mele kani no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni "Men in Black".
I ka makahiki 1998, hui ʻo Alicia Keys i ka mea hana ʻo Clive Davis. Ua nānā pono ka mea hana i ka mea hoʻokani hou no ka manawa lōʻihi, a ma hope ua kono iā ia e hui pū me ka hui mele ʻo J Records.
I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i nā mele kiʻekiʻe no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni. Ua hoʻolauna ʻo Clive iā Keys i nā alakaʻi Hollywood. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i kekahi mau mele no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni:
• Pohaku Me U;
• Hōʻikeʻike hope;
• "Mine";
• "Kauka Doolittle-2".
Mahalo i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kēia mau kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ua hoʻomaka ʻia ka leo o ka mea mele. I ka makahiki 2001, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna album mua Songs in A Minor, ka mea i lawe mai i ka mea mele i kūleʻa maoli, i hele ma waho o ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka moʻolelo me ka ʻoi aku o 10 miliona mau kope, a ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Keys i nā statuettes Grammy.
Ma hope o 2 mau makahiki, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi album hou a Alicia Keys. He album hou, a kaulana hou. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka moʻolelo me ka 9 miliona mau kope. No ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o kēia moʻolelo, ua loaʻa iā Keys ʻehā mau kiʻi Grammy i ka manawa hoʻokahi.
I ka makahiki 2003, ua hauʻoli ka mea mele i kāna mau mea pā me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o kāna album ʻekolu, ʻo As I Am. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kolu o ka disc, ua hoʻoholo ka mea mele e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kāna mau mea pā. Ua hele ʻo ia i kahi huakaʻi a ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻekolu mahina.
Me Jack White o ka White Stripes, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Alisha i kekahi o nā haku mele ʻike ʻia ʻo Another Way to Die. Ua hana nui nā kāne i kēia ala. E like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma hope, ua hoʻopaʻa lākou i kahi mele no ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni "Quantum of Solace".
I ka makahiki 2009, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea mele i kāna album ʻehā. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo The Element of Freedom. Wahi a nā mea hoʻokani pila, ʻo ia kekahi o nā moʻolelo maikaʻi loa a Alisha.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Billboard ʻAmelika ʻAmelika ʻo Alisha ka mea mele R'n'B kūʻai maikaʻi loa o kēia au. He mea paʻakikī loa ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa me kēia manaʻo. ʻAʻohe palena o ko Alicia kaulana.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Alicia Keys
I ka makahiki 2010, ua male ka mea mele i ka mea kaulana ʻo Swizz Kasim Dean Bitts. He ʻelua keiki kāne a lāua.
ʻOiai ʻo kāna hana nui, hāʻawi ʻo Alisha i ka manawa nui i ka hānai ʻana i kāna mau keikikāne. I loko o nā ʻoihana pūnaewele, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā kiʻi hui mai nā hale hoʻokipa a me nā kaona hoʻokipa mākaʻikaʻi.
Nā blog ʻo Alisha ma ka ʻoihana pūnaewele. Ma kāna Twitter a me Instagram hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hanana hou loa o ka mea hana i hana ʻia i kona ola.
ʻO Alisha Keys i kēia manawa
I kēia manawa, hāʻawi ka mea mele i ka manawa hou i kona ʻohana. ʻAʻole ʻo ia e hōʻike i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album hou. Ke hoʻoholo nei ma kāna Instagram, hele ʻo ia i nā hanana "hōkū" like ʻole a hauʻoli wale i kāna hoʻomaha. Ma ke ala, ʻo ia ka mea mele e lilo i mea hoʻokipa Grammy hou.
No ka ʻike ʻana i ka hana a Keys, hāʻawi mākou e hoʻolohe:
- Ke hāʻule nei.
- kaikamahine i ke ahi.
- Inā ʻaʻole wau e loaʻa iā ʻoe.
- Nuioka.
- He Wahine Waiwai.
