Norah Jones is a multi-Grammy Award winning pianist and singer-songwriter whose career was launched with her successful 2002 debut album 'Come Away With Me', a jazz piano album with a soul/folk tinge, that sold 18 million copies worldwide and received 8 Grammy awards.
Jones is the daughter of Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar, but she spent her childhood with her mother, Sue Jones, who moved to Dallas, Texas, when Norah was four. Jones attended the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and the University of North Texas, where she majored in jazz piano. In 1999, two years into the program, Norah left for New York City, where she performed with the band Wax Poetic.
