NEW YORK -- Alicia Keys has influenced many lives with her soulful, heartaching, piano-driven songs for almost a decade. Now that the 12-time Grammy winner has established herself as one of music's brightest stars, Keys is ready to inspire others -- without singing a tune. Keys is launching AK Worldwide, a new company that will handle the singer's projects, especially those outside of music. "It really explores the ways I can affect the world in a positive way, even outside of music," Keys said in a recent interview. "It is really about finding ways to bring forth things into the world that will give you and all the people that encounter them, and myself, inspiration," she said. The first project for the 28-year-old is The Barber's Daughters, a handcrafted jewelry line engraved with messages of hope and wisdom. "The words, when you read them, they really do resonate with you. They kind of inspire you to want to find that place in yourself," she said, sporting a silver oval ring that read: "May you find inspiration and meaning soaked in the wonders of the imagination cradled in compassion of the heart and hold a will to make difference.
