*Alicia Keys is already setting the stage for a great next year, with honors scheduled to come her way via the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.
The award-winning hitmaker will receive the recognition at the fourth annual Recording Academy Honors, which will take place before the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Established in 2023, the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award acknowledges “artists whose influence extends far beyond music” while celebrating “not only musical excellence but also entrepreneurial achievements, philanthropic efforts and a profound impact on a global scale,” Vibe noted. Previous honorees include the award’s namesake, Dr. Dre, as well as Lil Wayne, Missy Elliott, Sylvia Rhone, and Jay-Z.
Keys’ soon-to-be latest achievement marks the latest in a long line of accolades for the 16x Grammy recipient, who added Broadway producer to her resume with her semi-autobiographical play, “Hell’s Kitchen.”
The critically acclaimed production, which collected two Tony Awards after 13 nominations, is set for a 2025 tour.
