'Beyond Music'
The Grammy winner penned a touching remembrance to the music mogul, who championed Keys early in her career
Alicia Keys honored Clive Davis after news of his death on Monday at the age of 94. In her touching tribute to the beloved music executive, Keys joined a wave of legendary artists crediting Davis for being pivotal at the start of their careers.
“Clive Davis changed my life forever,” Keys began in her remembrance shared to social media. “He believed in me from the very beginning, when I was just 18 years old, and very few saw what I was capable of!”
In her post, Keys also shared images of her and Davis together, including an interview clip of her sharing how he was the first person of his “stature” to genuinely care about her future. After Arista executive Peter Edge introduced Alicia Keys to Davis in 1998, Davis later made her a top artist at his new label, J Records.
