Norah Jones, nacida Geetali Norah Shankar Jones el 30 de marzo de 1979 en Brooklyn, Nueva York, creció en una amalgama de culturas y sonidos. Hija del legendario sitarista Ravi Shankar y de la productora de conciertos Sue Jones, Norah tuvo una infancia marcada por la música y la exploración artística.
A medida que crecía, su talento natural se hizo evidente. Estudió en la Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts en Dallas, Texas, donde empezó a brillar en el coro de la escuela. Fue aquí donde su amor por el jazz explotó, alimentado por la influencia de artistas icónicos como Billie Holiday y Etta James.
Después de mudarse a Nueva York para asistir a la universidad, Norah comenzó a tocar en clubes y pequeños locales. Firmó con Blue Note Records, un sello discográfico especializado en jazz, y en 2002 lanzó su álbum debut, "Come Away With Me". Este trabajo cambió su vida y la catapultó a la fama internacional.
El álbum combinaba elementos de jazz, pop y folk, y fue recibido con aplausos por la crítica y el público. Particularmente, la canción "Don't Know Why" se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo. La combinación única de su voz suave y su habilidad para el piano creó un sonido irresistible. En 2003, Norah cosechó un impresionante total de ocho premios Grammy con este álbum, incluyendo el de Mejor Nuevo Artista y Álbum

Norah Jones:
Life is filled with gray
But now he comes to me
Please fall away
Hip hop is playing again
And it's bangin too
Gonna bang for you
Dont stop this feeling I feel
I just wanna run out all day for you and breathe for you at least
Im soo into your rich history
Tell me a story and take me away
C'mon and take me oooo
C'mon and take me with u
