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. Her debut album, released when she was 20, reflected the heart and mind of a teenaged girl; her second those of a rapidly maturing young woman. Both musically and lyrically, Jewel displays many different sides of her talent and her personality.
Raised in Alaska, Jewel has been celebrated as one of the most gifted and accomplished artists in popular music today, with worldwide album sales of more than 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.
Jewel's highly anticipated second album, "Spirit," was released in 1998 to much popular and critical acclaim. The Patrick Leonard-produced collection featuring the singles "Hands," "Down So Long," and "Jupiter (Swallow The Moon)" made its debut in the #3 position on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum out-of-the-box. It sold 6 million worldwide, making it one of the most successful sophomore albums.
On top of numerous tours across North America, Jewel has also performed to sell-out crowds in Asia, Australia, and Europe, where she was acclaimed by the influential Times of London as "the most sparkling female singer-songwriter since Joni Mitchell."
December 1997 saw Jewel performing as part of the annual Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies in Oslo, Norway. In January 1998, she was welcomed home to San Diego to sing The Star-Spangled Banner prior to the opening kick-off of Super Bowl XXXII.
Among Jewel's many accolades are three Grammy Award nominations, an American Music Award, and an MTV Video Music Award. In June 1999, Jewel was presented with the prestigious Governor's Award from the Los Angeles chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS). The award acknowledges Academy members "whose creative talents and accomplishments have crossed all musical boundaries and have been recognized as an asset to our music community."
Jewel also received a number of other tributes that year, including the 1999 Founder's Choice Award from the non-profit Time For Peace organization, as well as being named one of Glamour magazine's 10th Anniversary Women Of The Year for her dedication to humanitarian goals.
