Biography
Norah Jones (born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar, March 30, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who fused jazz with country, blues, folk, and pop to become one of the 2000s' defining commercial forces. She launched her solo career in 2002 with Come Away with Me, certified diamond with over 27 million copies sold—the third best-selling album of the 21st century. That album alone earned her five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist, and made her the first person of South Asian descent to win five Grammys at a single show. Billboard named her the top jazz artist of the 2000s decade, and she was ranked 60th on the magazine's Artists of the 2000s Decade chart. Her subsequent albums Feels Like Home (2004), Not Too Late (2007), and The Fall (2009) all achieved platinum status, each selling more than a million copies. As of 2023, she has won ten Grammy Awards and sold more than 53 million records worldwide. Beyond music, she made her feature film debut as an actress in My Blueberry Nights, directed by Wong Kar-Wai and released in 2007. As a singer-songwriter and musician, she performs live, records studio albums, and collaborates across genres. Born in the US, she is the daughter of Indian sitarist and composer Ravi Shankar and the half-sister of fellow musicians Anoushka Shankar and Shubhendra Shankar. Her Aries birth date positions her in the zodiac's pioneering, direct quadrant. Life Path 5 suggests a restless creative evolution—which tracks: she moved across genres and into acting rather than repeating a single formula.
