Alicia Keys is working hard – so that she can quit.

The talented songstress told Contact Music that she plans to retire at 30, just three years from now.

“I am working hard now so I have the choice to retire when I want,” she told the site. “I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experience difference cultures.”

Keys said that the reason for her early retirement is that she feels too pressured by the business and fame. In 2006 she took a break from it all, travelling to Egypt.
