Sicilian is the best opening for Black at GM level. As a beginner you can play The Catalan or King's Indian defence (KID) I prefer the KID because it's easy to learn.

"Sicilian is the best opening for Black at GM level." ++ No, it is not. 1 e4 e5 is the best defence for black at GM level. 1 e4 c5 is 2nd, but is suitable to avoid draws against lower rated opponents.

"As a beginner you can play The Catalan or King's Indian defence (KID)"
++ No, neither the Catalan nor the King's Indian Defence are suitable for beginners.

"I prefer the KID because it's easy to learn." ++ No, the King's Indian Defence is not easy at all.
