Alicia Keys and Dan Miller of boy band O-Town, photographed in London in March 2001.

The boy band singer recalls the interaction to social media: “O-Town was in London promoting our 1st album when Clive Davis invites us out to ‘the J Records new artist showcase’ for our label mate, Alicia Keys. It was obvious that she was a beast and quite honestly, destined for much bigger things than us. She was always the sweetest to us and showed nothing but love and support to O-Town.” 

Songs in A Minor wouldn't be released for another 3 months.
