Alicia Keys' says music is her savior

Alicia Keys has claimed that music kept her from a life of crime.

The singer, who grew up in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, managed to avoid the gang life thanks to music and her family.

“When I was about 13 or 14, I was in the street when someone got shot in a gang situation,” she told News of the World. “What was difficult was that in my group of friends, some went the way of gangs and drugs and others didn’t.”

Keys certainly did make the right choice. She has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, spread across her four albums.

She is best known for singles including ‘Fallin’, ‘A Woman’s Worth’ and ‘If I Ain’t Got You’.
