Birth Name:

Alicia J. Augello-Cook

Birth Place:

Harlem, New York City, USA

Ethnicity:

Irish, Scottish, Italian and African American.

The American singer is multiracial. Her mother, Terri Auguello is of Irish, Scottish and Italian ancestry, and her father, Craig Cook is African American.

Keys stated that as she grew up in New York she never had to experience feeling “not Black enough” or “not White enough”. However she became comfortable with her biracial heritage as it allows her to relate to different cultures.

A lot of people believe I’m part Jamaican, though I’m not. I’m definitely black and Italian and a little Irish or Scottish.

    Alicia is not beautiful because she is biracial after all if you combine an ugly white person with an ugly black person you get an ugly biracial person. Alicia is beautiful because of a combo of features from her ethnic origins for example Italian shaped eyes, scottish/Irish nose, African lips & hips.

      Wow, you want your kids to be half white? Though there is nothing wrong with being white, you really shouldn’t want your kids to be biracial just because you want them to be “beautiful” or “exotic”. Oh lord…
      I’ll make this really short by saying that you should allow yourself to fall in ‘love’ with the right person and not expect to fall in love with someone from a specific race/ethnic group. I’m sick of black people like yourself (I’m black) making it seem like we crave to half babies who are half white as a life fulfilling dream.
