Norah Jones

BIOGRAPHy

Norah Jones

Norah Jones is a multi-Grammy-winning American singer, songwriter, and pianist celebrated for her distinctively smoky voice and genre-blending style. Born in New York City in 1979 to concert producer Sue Jones and Indian sitar maestro Ravi Shankar, she was raised in Texas before returning to Manhattan to pursue her musical career. Jones skyrocketed to global fame with her 2002 solo debut album, Come Away with Me. The “moody little record” combined jazz, pop, and country, selling over 27 million copies and sweeping five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Best New Artist. Over the next two decades, she sustained a highly versatile career, releasing acclaimed solo albums like Feels Like Home and Day Breaks, alongside her vibrant ninth studio album, Visions (2024). She has sold more than 53 million albums worldwide. In 2026, Jones remains a powerhouse in contemporary music. Her enduring legacy was highlighted when the Recording Academy honored her with the prestigious Ray Charles Architect of Sound Award at the 2026 Grammy Hall of Fame Gala, celebrating a career that seamlessly transcends musical genres. Alongside hosting her popular collaboration podcast, Norah Jones Is Playing Along, she balances select 2026 tour dates with exciting new creative projects—including writing the original music and lyrics for an upcoming theatrical musical adaptation of the film Practical Magic.
