MAIN Art & ... Pop Culture Pop Music Norah Jones

Born on March 30, 1979 in New York City, Jones grew up in Dallas, Texas estranged from her famous father, Indian musician, Ravi Shankar.

With a natural vocal talent, she later attended the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, winning the Down Beat Student Music Awards for Best Jazz Vocalist in 1996, and again in 1997.

Briefly attending the University of North Texas for a degree in jazz piano, Jones subsequently dropped out of college in 1992 to live the Bohemian life in New York's Greenwich Village, joining the band Wax Poetic while honing her songwriting skills.

Jones' first big professional break came when the group was signed with Blue Note Records in 2001. It wasn't long before a debut solo album was planned for the rising young singer and the following year saw the release of Come Away with Me, an instant success with its mix of pop-flavored jazz hits that eventually went multi-platinum and won Jones eight Grammy Awards.

Jones continued her astounding success with the release of a second album, Feels Like Home from which the single Here We Go Again, a duet with the late Ray Charles, won Record of the Year at the 2005 Grammy Awards.

In 2007, more accolades followed when she released the first collection of songs entirely written or co-written by her on a third Norah Jones album, "Not Too Late."
