Diana Krall

Biography

Diana Krall, a famed pianist and singer from Canada, was born on November 16, 1964. The girl could not but like music since her parents were professional pianists and her grandmother was a dancer. She was only four when she first sat at the piano. Soon, Diana would not only play, but also sing to what she was playing. The first band Diana joined was her school jazz band. At that time, she was extremely fond of Sting and R&B performers. Krall gave her first professional concert when she was fifteen. Talented and committed, she started her music career playing weekends at local bars. In 1981, Diana won a jazz contest in Vancouver and earned a grant to study music in the States. In two years, she came home to continue playing jazz at clubs. Experienced colleagues saw in the young girl more than just an average musician and persuaded her to go to Los Angeles and improve her vocal skills.
