My Everything

Alicia Keys wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York

"New York is my heartbeat. New York means everything to me. It’s my identity. It’s what I recognize the most. It’s my most familiar, comfortable place. It’s my exploration. It’s the sound that I’ve picked up and put inside my music. It’s my character, my attitude, my energy, my tomboy-ness, my toughness, my survival, my instinct."
Alicia Keys, The Edition Broadsheet
