| Diana has broken ground as a female jazz musician, the same way Shania Twain (a fellow Canadian) has set records as a female country singer. With her soothing voice and piano skills, she has won over many fans, and not only in jazz circles. Her sultry voice can calm us down any day. |
 |
| Her album When I Look Into Your Eyes was the first jazz album to be nominated for Best Album of the Year at the Grammys while her previous album, All For You, is a tribute to the Nat King Cole trio. |

Diana Krall was born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, on the 16th of November, 1964. Music was always playing in the Krall family household, making music an integral part of Diana's childhood since she was able to crawl.
She learned how to play the classical piano at the age of 4, and enjoyed playing the instrument along with her grandmother. She chose to take the jazz route in her teenage years, and played piano in a high school band. By the time she was 15, Diana was playing piano professionally, as a regular act in a hockey bar -- an appropriate venue for a Canadian.
In 1981, Diana attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, thanks to having won a Vancouver Jazz Fest scholarship. After a year and a half of studying in the United States, Diana returned to her native British Columbia. Diana's career as a jazz musician would finally become a reality after famous American musicians Ray Brown and Jeff Hamilton witnessed one of Diana's performances in Nanaimo.
They were so impressed with her skills, that they encouraged her to cross the border and move to Los Angeles. Thanks to a Canadian Arts Council grant, Diana took the advice of her mentors and headed to California, where she studied with pianist Jimmy Rowles. |
