History

Diana Krall was born November 16, 1964, in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, into a musical family — her father played piano and her mother sang in a community choir. She studied classical piano as a child, played jazz gigs from age fifteen, and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship before graduating in 1983. Encouraged by bassist Ray Brown, she moved to Los Angeles to study with pianist Jimmy Rowles, then relocated to New York in 1990, where she gradually shifted from a pianist who sang occasionally into a jazz singer-pianist built around a repertoire of 1930s-40s standards. Her debut album Stepping Out came out in 1993; the 1996 Nat King Cole tribute All for You broke her into wider recognition, and 1999's When I Look in Your Eyes brought her first Grammy. She is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debut atop the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, has sold over 15 million records worldwide, and has collaborated with artists including Tony Bennett and Ray Charles. She is married to musician Elvis Costello.
