Jewel Kilcher (born May 23, 1974),[1] professionally known as Jewel, is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actress and poet. She has received four Grammy Award nominations and has sold over 27 million albums worldwide.[2]
Jewel debuted on February 28, 1995, with the album Pieces of You, which became one of the best selling debut albums of all time, going platinum 15 times. One single from the album, "Who Will Save Your Soul", peaked at #11 on Billboard's Hot 100; two others, "You Were Meant for Me" and "Foolish Games", also reached #2 and #7 respectively on the Hot 100, and were included in Billboard's 1997 year-end singles chart. She has crossed multiple genres throughout her career. Perfectly Clear, her first country record, was released on The Valory Music Co. in 2008. It debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart and featured three singles, "Stronger Woman", "I Do", and "Til It Feels Like Cheating". Jewel released her first independent album Lullaby in May 2009.
Jewel is the co-host, as well as a judge, with Kara DioGuardi on the songwriting competition reality television series Platinum Hit, which premiered May 30, 2011, on the cable network Bravo.In 1993, Michael Balzary (better known as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) met Jewel after he saw her perform at a cafe. They went back to her van and spent the rest of the night in each other's company, and she gave a few songs to him. He described her voice as being "beautiful" and "breathtaking". She described him as "loving and tender".[15]
Jewel was discovered by Inga Vainshtein in August 1993, when John Hogan, the lead singer from a local San Diego (California, United States) band, Rust, called to tell her about a girl surfer who sang at a local coffee shop on Thursdays. Vainshtein drove to Innerchange coffee shop with a rep from Atlantic Records, and after the show they called Danny Goldberg, the head of Atlantic Record's west coast operations.[16] At the time, Jewel did not even have a demo. Goldberg offered to pay for Jewel to record some of her songs.[citation needed] Vainshtein, a former film studio executive, became Jewel's manager and was instrumental in creating a major bidding war, which led to Jewel's deal with Atlantic Records[17] and her subsequent appearance on the cover of Time Magazine, the first ever by an Atlantic artist.[18] Her first studio recording session was with Bruce Robb, who produced, engineered, and mixed her demos.
She cut her debut album, Pieces of You, in 1995 when she was 19.[19] It was recorded in a studio on Neil Young's ranch, and was backed by his band, The Stray Gators. The album was produced by Ben Keith, who played steel guitar in Neil's band. Part of the album was cut live at the Innerchange Coffeehouse in San Diego. The album stayed on the Billboard 200 for two years, reaching number four at its peak.[20] The album spawned the popular hits "You Were Meant for Me", "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "Foolish Games". The album eventually sold more than 12 million copies in the United States alone
