Alicia Keys' boy has a musical touch

Son Egypt's inherited his mum's talent of hitting all the right notes

Does Egypt have his eye on his mum's R 'n' B crown?

It seems Alicia Keys’ son Egypt has inherited his mum’s love of music.

The ‘No One’ singer told BBC Breakfast that her son isn’t even 2-years-old, but is already showing some serious piano skills.

“He loves to play piano and he loves to dance,” said Alicia.

“I haven’t got him doing the scales just yet, and I don’t want to be that type of mother.”

“But I have observed that when he’s playing piano against another child of his age, the other child is like bang, bang, bang and he’s different.”

“He has good construction in his fingers, so maybe it’s just natural.”

Egypt’s dad, Swizz Beatz, is also a successful music producer, so it seems that musical talent really does run in the family.

But Alicia’s little one isn’t the only talented A-list tot in celebville, as Britney Spears, Elton John and Pink’s kids are all showing signs of following in their parents' showbiz footsteps.

Do your little ones play any instruments?
