BIO >>
Since she started writing songs at the age of 17, Jewel Kilcher's music has been a direct, open expression of her life at the time - a series of intimate portraits of the artist as a composer, performer, and human being. Jewel has been celebrated as one of the most gifted and accomplished artists in popular music today, with worldwide album sales at this writing of over 23 million albums. Her 1995 debut, Pieces of You, received the RIAA's prestigious Diamond Award for U.S. sales in excess of 10 million units (and is currently certified at 11 million). The album - which includes the hit singles "You Were Meant For Me," "Who Will Save Your Soul," and "Foolish Games" � spent a remarkable 114 weeks on the Billboard 200, where it hit the #4 mark. Pieces of You reflected the heart and mind of a teenaged girl; while her second album, Spirit, those of a rapidly maturing young woman. Jewel's latest album, This Way, released three years later, finds her connecting with a deeper sense of self and the world around her, securing her place among the most accomplished artists of her generation.
