Norah Jones

Norah Jones was born in New York and grew up in Texas, where she studied jazz piano at the University of North Texas before moving back to New York and working the small-club circuit. Her first album won Album of the Year at the Grammys, and its single 'Don't Know Why', written by her bandmate Jesse Harris, became her signature song.

She has kept moving sideways since. Later records brought in rootsier band arrangements and, on Little Broken Hearts, a full collaboration with the producer Danger Mouse. She also plays in side projects: The Little Willies, a country covers band, and Puss N Boots, a trio with Sasha Dobson and Catherine Popper. With Billie Joe Armstrong she recorded Foreverly, an album of Everly Brothers songs, and she hosts the podcast Norah Jones Is Playing Along, built around duets with guests.
