Kurt Elling Biography

Kurt Elling is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on November 2, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

Kurt Elling (born November 2, 1967) is an American jazz singer and songwriter.

After graduating from Gustavus Adolphus in 1989, Elling enrolled in graduate school at the University of Chicago Divinity School where he studied for his master’s degree in philosophy of religion. He thought about continuing work in academia or working for the World Council of Churches when he graduated. He began playing jazz gigs once a week during graduate school, with one of his first shows at Milt Trenier’s, a basement club in Chicago (now defunct). He earned little money at these gigs, but Karl Johnson, the house pianist, was his mentor and teacher. Elling recalls, “By day I was reading Kant and Schleiermacher, trying to get a handle on that, and at night I was sitting-in in clubs, and, of course, you can’t do both and be effective. Eventually Saturday night won out over Sunday morning.” He remained a graduate student until January 1992, when he left school one credit short of graduation.
