If you haven’t heard the voice of Alicia Keys over the past couple of decades, check your pulse because you might be dead. During that time, Keys has created four number-one hit songs and won 17 Grammy awards, among many other accolades. So we’ve established Keys can sing, but what you may not know is how much work she puts into helping others.
In 2025, she launched the Kaleidoscope Dreams Foundation, an organization she says was inspired by her Broadway hit, Hell’s Kitchen. Keys has focused the Foundation on advocating for DEI initiatives, as well as providing new opportunities for underrepresented groups to access education and career resources.
Her tireless efforts to raise awareness for the underprivileged—especially via the Kaleidoscope Foundation—have been noticed almost as much as her music. This year’s Grammy Awards saw her win the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, recognizing that all her work, not just her music, is a powerful force for promoting diversity and social change.
