Alicia Keys' two-year-old son is already learning the piano and drums.

The 'Girl on Fire' singer and her music producer husband, Swizz Beats, are passing their talents onto their boy, Egypt, and she is even planning on taking him on tour with her.

She told Hello! magazine: 'He plays [piano]. Egypt has a stark sense of rhythm. He also plays the drums already. He likes that most. The kid's making noise all day long.

'He's adorable. Soon Egypt will come on tour with me, and then he'll get a taste of that world.

'Most importantly, I want him to do everything he does with passion, whatever that may be.'

Alicia - who's debut album was released when she was only 20 - has also said how Egypt inspires her own music, saying: 'He's the best collaboration I've ever done, he's the best song I ever wrote, the best experience I've ever had, the best show I've ever performed. He's the best everything.'

Tracks Alicia, 31, wrote inspired by Egypt will appear on her first album since his birth, 'Girl on Fire', released at the end of the month, and she is expected to go on tour in 2013.
