Alicia has been playing the piano since she was five. At 14, she started working on her own songs. At 16, she graduated from high school and was signed to Columbia. From 1998, Clive Davis took care of the rest. In his 40-year career, he was responsible for 300 number one hits and discovered and signed top acts such as Janis Joplin, Barry Manilow, Santana, Bruce Springsteen and many more. Since then, Alicia has become a superstar and has delivered one hit album after another.
