As I Am continued to post strong sales throughout 2008, and the single “Superwoman” earned Keys a Grammy for best female rhythm and blues vocal performance in 2009. In 2007 Keys released the soul-infused As I Am, which featured the Grammy-winning single “No One.” The following year she teamed with Jack White of the White Stripes on “Another Way to Die,” the lead single on the soundtrack to the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. She won five Grammy Awards in 2002, including those for song of the year and best new artist. In 2001 Keys released Songs in A Minor, a hugely successful debut album that featured a number one hit with “ Fallin’” and that went on to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide. After attracting the attention of record mogul Clive Davis, she signed to his Arista Records in 1998, and, when Davis formed J Records in 2000, she was one of the first artists to sign with the new label. Keys’s compositions showed modern influences but were rooted in the sounds of earlier soul artists, including Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. At age 14 she began composing, and two years later she graduated as valedictorian from the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan. Keys began performing at age four and playing piano at age seven, concentrating on classical music and jazz.
