Classically trained, 15-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Alicia Keys is one of the most beloved musical artists in the world, known for her dynamic sounds and universally resonant lyrics. Alicia broke into the music business as a teenager, and her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, “Fallin’,” (released when she was just 20) sold more than 16 million copies and helped make her a household name. “Songs in a Minor Key,” the album on which “Fallin’” appeared, also earned the New York City native five Grammy Awards in 2002.
Over the past 20 years, Alicia has sold more than 40 million albums and 35 million singles worldwide. She’s been named Billboard’s top R&B artist of the 2000s and twice has been listed as one of Time magazine’s most influential people. She’s also used her voice and platform to promote philanthropy, cofounding her own nonprofit organization, Keep a Child Alive, and the female empowerment movement She Is the Music. Using emotion and empathy as a foundation for creating powerful songs, Alicia urges you to use your own voice as an artist to connect with others and speak your truth.

Imagine Micheal Jackson still alive and bringing his Masterclass to the world.
I've written an entire CD of songs….all great songs….hit songs….i love these masterclasses…i love this woman's sound.
She is a true artist. This masterclass gives you a brief glimpse of her craftmanship. And shes so incredibly humble. Shes a master.
wishing Mariah Carey would do this. she's such a phenomenal songwriter and producer

Awesome bruv ????.
Thx u ?????…
I didn't see a damn thing about "producing". Let's not act like she doesn't have 5 skilled producers who can build a magic out of voice note.
i love her ,3\<3\
she said the important is the emotional, not technical but she has perfect technical =))
is her hair a tattoo??
We need skrillex masterclass . Daft punk masterclass . Christopher Nolan masterclass . Eminem masterclass .
"ThE CoOleSt tEaCheR oF aLl timE"… PERIOD
Has anyone taken her class? Is MasterClass worth it? 🙂
Did you run out of money???
boiiii…BOIIIII
Watch intro on. .25 speed
0:43 Fuck. Off. hahahahahaha 0:54 This is, like, a fucking parody of these trailers. The relaxed voice? The faux, self-serious performing? I mean, wow, girl.
One of the best in the past 20 years! Listen up folks, and learn ??. I love how earnest she is in her musical approach. She puts all FEELINGS in it and you don’t have to be a fan to feel where she is coming from . She also has a way of making her traditional R&b soul music pop friendly , while still having meaningful lyrics. And she arranges it all as well , while utilizing her voice. Alicia is a special artist. I have also noticed that her material since 2016 has deepened lyrically , she is writing on more subjects other than romance. That shows she is growing. Much respects to Alicia!?????
"TOVE LO teaches songwriting" please ???
Chile… I hope that's all she do 'cause "singing" has never been her forte. It's ironic because whenever she's live on stage, she usually ends up hitting flat notes and she goes off-key. She be straining and whining like nobody's business.
She is so good. One of the best to do it!
wow yo quiero aprender a componer UwU
What are the songs in the video?
I hate this ad so much, whenever it comes up and that OH OH OH hits my day is instantly RUINED
I’m so glad I pirated many of your classes instead of paying for them ??
Who is the group that is singing Fallin' at 1:19?
i dno what this is for but the more you berate my ears the closer i get to ad blocking your stupid shit
Every time I open a video I get 1 to 2 advertisements (the intro of this particular video)… Its been 2 weeks of "owa oh oh ooooh! Owa ohh oh ooooooh!"… And i just gotta tell you I'm really starting to hate Alecia Keys. ?
Imagine if Freddie Mercury was alive and making one of these
She's soooo effortlesly cool. Such a beautiful, talented human being. I'm not in the music industry but will watch it just to get inspired.
She’s so inspiring??
Hey Alicia Keys you look so beautiful and and I love your music and you are my favorite female artist and I hope to meet you and Swizz Beatz soon and thank you very much Alicia Keys ?
THIS is why I subscribe to MasterClass 😉
