Diana Krall
Diana Krall is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut at the top of the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. To date, her albums have garnered two Grammy Awards, 10 Juno Awards and have also earned nine gold, three platinum and seven multi-platinum albums. Krall's unique artistry transcends any single musical style and has made her one of the most recognizable artists of our time.
Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, near Vancouver, Krall grew up in the western part of Canada and began studying the piano when she was 4. By age 15, she was performing jazz locally and with the encouragement of her father, a pianist with a vast knowledge of such keyboard masters like Fats Waller, James P. Johnson and Earl Hines.
Krall was still a teenager when she was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. After two years in Boston, she moved to Los Angeles, where she met her first jazz heavyweights, including bassist John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton, pianist/singer Jimmy Rowles and Ray Brown, the legendary bassist who served as her musical mentor.
Diana Krall’s recordings have been included in several film soundtracks, and she has expanded upon her role as a performer to include songwriting, producing and arranging and has brought her talents to collaborate with many other artists, including Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett. She tours extensively around the globe to sold-out audiences, appearing at premiere jazz festivals and concert halls throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
