KEYS’ MOTHER ABORTED STRIPPER NAME
R&B superstar ALICIA KEYS almost named herself Alicia Wild when starting out in the music business - until her mother pointed out it made her sound like a stripper.
Keys was born Alicia Augello-Cook and wanted a catchier name for herself, when she saw the word ‘wild’ in a dictionary.
But her mum had other ideas.
Keys tells American magazine Newsweek, "She said, ‘It sounds like you’re a stripper.’" So the singer decided to name herself Alicia Keys instead.
She explains, "It’s like the piano keys. And it can open so many doors."
