Alicia Keys with Swizz and Egypt

Alicia Keys feels blessed she has a 'good' child.

The 'Girl on Fire' singer has a 23-month-old son, Egypt, with husband Swizz Beatz and while she admits the tot can be hard work at times, she knows she's lucky to have a son who is generally well behaved.

She said: 'I want him to be great and there's a time for everything so we go through a lot of emotions but it's mostly all love, which is the most important thing. But he's a good one, he's really good - I definitely got a good one!'

Alicia also says Egypt is starting to take after her when it comes to music and has already started playing the piano.

She told British TV show 'BBC Breakfast': 'He'll be two next month and he has a huge personality - he's just incredible. He loves to play the piano and he loves to dance. He's just a joy. 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 the piano against another child of his age, the other child is like bang, bang, bang and he's different. So he has good construction in his fingers so maybe it's just natural.'
