GRAMMY winners Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are a power couple to be reckoned with. In 2018 their stars will burn even brighter with new recognition from the Recording Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing.
The power duo will be honored during GRAMMY Week 2018 at the P&E Wing's 11th annual GRAMMY Week celebration on Jan. 25, 2018, at Rockefeller Center's iconic Rainbow Room in New York City. The invite-only event, which celebrates the artistic contributions of the Wing's professional members, will highlight the unparalleled accomplishments of Keys and Beatz.
Keys has earned a total of 15 career GRAMMYs to date, including Best New Artist and Song Of The Year for "Fallin'" at the 44th GRAMMY Awards and wins in the R&B Field for classics such as "You Don't Know My Name" (2004), "No One" (2007) and "Girl On Fire" (2013). She also earned a win for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song for her collaboration with fellow GRAMMY winner Jay-Z on "Empire State Of Mind."
Primarily a sought-after producer, Beatz — aka Kasseem Dean — has worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Madonna, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes, Gwen Stefani, Kanye West, and Metallica. He has earned six GRAMMY nominations, and won his first career GRAMMY at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group for "On To The Next One" with Jay-Z.
