Biography
Born in Harlem to Melvin and Janice Combs, Combs grew up in the suburb of Mount Vernon. When P. Diddy was two, his father Melvin, a Muslim, was shot dead in his car on January 26, 1972 at age thirty-three in Manhattan park following a party he attended. Melvin was rumoured to be a drug dealer.
After completing his private secondary education at the Roman Catholic Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx, Combs attended Howard University in Washington, DC before becoming an intern at Uptown Records..
With the help of Russell Simmons, he tried to sign Tupac Shakur who he thought was the best rapper at the time to jump start the label. However, Tupac refused. Both Mack and Biggie quickly released hit singles, followed by similarly successful LPs, particularly B.I.G.'s Ready to Die. Puff Daddy, as he was then known, began signing more acts to Bad Boy, including Faith Evans, 112 and Total, as well as producing for Lil' Kim, TLC, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, SWV, Aretha Franklin and others. Mase and The Lox soon joined Bad Boy, just as a widely publicized rivalry with the West Coast's Death Row Records was beginning. Combs and Notorious B.I.G. were criticized and parodied by Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight, in songs and interviews during the mid 1990s. Shakur was murdered in 1996. Six months later, on March 9th 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. was murdered weeks before the release of his successful album, Life After Death.

Biography.
Keys was born to an Irish-Italian mother, Terri Augello, and a Jamaican father, Craig Cook, in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, New York, and was raised in poverty in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, also of Manhattan, New York City. In 1985, Keys and a group of other girls won the parts of Rudy Huxtable's sleepover guests in an episode of The Cosby Show (the episode became the only time Keys was credited under her real name). She began playing piano when she was seven, learning classical music by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, and her favorite Chopin. She wrote her first song "Butterflyz" at the age of fourteen; the song was later recorded for her debut album. Keys' mother and father separated during her early childhood, thus she was raised by her mother during her formative years; her mother was the one who most supported her during the time she was developing her musical talents. The press reported in 2005 that Keys was attempting to reconcile with her father.However, Keys denied this and said her words were misinterpreted
Keys graduated from the Professional Performing Arts School, a high school in Manhattan, at the age of sixteen. She was accepted to Columbia University but never attended, devoting herself instead to a full-time musical career. Keys signed a demo deal with Jermaine Dupri and his So So Def label, then distributed to Columbia Records. She wrote and recorded a song entitled "Dah Dee Dah (Sexy Thing)" which appeared on the soundtrack for the 1997 blockbuster, Men in Black. The song was Keys' first professional recording, it was never released as a single and her record contract with Columbia Records was ended quickly and Keys later met Clive Davis who signed her to Arista Records, which has since disbanded. Following her mentor Clive Davis to his newly-formed J Records label, she recorded songs "Rock Wit U" and "Rear View Mirror" which featured on the soundtracks to the movies Shaft (2000) and Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001) respectively. Keys then released her debut album Songs in A Minir in 2001, the title being a reference to both her classical aspirations and to the fact that she wrote most of the songs at a very young age.
