Norah
grew up in Texas with her mom Sue. She got into jazz while attending
Dallas' Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual
Arts. She always enjoyed singing but felt that studying piano would be a
more solid foundation. She majored in jazz piano at the University of
North Texas for two years before taking a
trip to New York city. The
trip started out as just a summer away from college, but
Norah quickly knew that she would not be leaving for a while. In October
2000 the band recorded some demos for Blue Note Records. Norah used this
as an opportunity to find her voice between her roots in jazz and a new
passion for songwriting. The resulting demos were available as the now of
out print EP 'First Sessions'. In January 2001 she signed with Blue Note
Records. Her first Blue Note release entitled 'Come Away With Me' was
released on February 26th, 2002. |
