Norah Jones-Turn me on

Norah Jones

Norah Jones (born Geetali Norah Jones Shankar on March 30 1979; she changed her name officially to Norah Jones at age 16) is an American multi-Grammy Award winning pianist and singer-songwriter whose career was launched with her successful 2002 debut album Come Away with Me, a contemporary pop album with a soul/folk tinge, that sold 20 million copies worldwide and received 8 Grammy awards.

Jones was born in New York City, 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.
