Diana
Krall was born in British Columbia, Canada. She was raised
in Nanaimo, a small community on Vancouver Island, where she began
performing professionally at age 15 as a jazz pianist. In 1981,
Diana won a Vancouver Jazz Festival scholarship to study at Berklee
College of Music in Boston and, after a year and a half of serious
study, she returned to British Columbia. Renowned bassist Ray Brown
heard her playing one night in Nanaimo and convinced Diana to move
to Los Angeles where she obtained a Canadian Arts Council grant
to study with Jimmy Rowles. Jimmy encouraged Diana to explore her
vocals to supplement her already blossoming piano skills. With
several successful CDs to her credit, Diana has won numerous awards
including Canada's Juno Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album (2000)
and a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance (2000). She received
the Order of British Columbia in 2000 for being a good-will ambassador
for British Columbia and epitomizing Canadian culture. The greatest
talent in the jazz field to come along in a generation, she frequently
acknowledges her roots in Nanaimo where she began . She epitomizes
Canadian culture and is an outstanding citizen and good-will ambassador
for British Columbia.
