Alicia Keys' mom wasn't exactly fallin' for the professional name her daughter initially wanted.Boy, am I glad she went with Keys and not Wild and certainly not Augello-Cook. Keys fits her so well.
The NYC-born singer, 27 — née Alicia Augello-Cook — says that she had a tough time figuring out a professional name, so she began thumbing through the dictionary.
She stopped on the word "wild."
But when she ran it past mom, "she said, 'It sounds like you're a stripper,'" Keys reveals in the new issue of Newsweek.
So she went with Keys.
"It's like the piano keys," says Alicia, whose new disc, As I Am, just dropped. "And it can open so many doors."
