Alicia Keys will be honoured with the 2025 Dr Dre Global Impact Award at the fourth annual Recording Academy Honours, presented by the Black Music Collective.
The Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles will host the event on Thursday, 30 January, 2025.
The Dr Dre Global Impact Award, established in 2023, honours artistes for influence beyond music, recognising entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and global impact.
Dr Dre received the inaugural award at the 2023 Grammys, followed by Jay-Z earlier this year.
Alicia Keys, a 2025 Grammy nominee for Hell’s Kitchen, continues to shine.
The musical, inspired by her early career, opened on 20 April at New York’s Shubert Theatre and earned 13 Tony nominations, winning two, including Best Actress (Maleah Joi Moon) and Best Featured Actor (Kecia Lewis).
