My Page Dedicated To Jewel!
HI! this is my page edicated to singer,songwriter,philisopher, and humanitarian Jewel Kilcher.
Jewel was born in homer, alaska. As jewel puts her circumstance in california "I felt in my life very suffocated and smothered by my circumstance. Your life
becomes what you believe. I was living in a house with my mom and my younger
brother and we were all sharing rent and wasn't really making rent. Didn't get
to eat, I scraped food off of people's plates where I waitressed, I stole
toilet paper from fast food restaurants... I got fired from my last job and
that was it. My mom was like we're just going to do what we love, and we're
gonna just have faith. So I lived in my van, and she lived in her van. And I
decided, fine, I'll die, but I want to go to college. I'll die, I don't want
to go to work and waitress. I want to do what I love only. I love singing, I
never really thought I could make a living at it, it was dreaming. Zen,
Buddha, God, Jesus, Trees, whatever is out there, what I want is. I want to
make a living doing what I love, you know?" To see and here jewel sayng that please click here

What jewel has to say on each on the power of music. "You always feel better when you sing. Music touches people's hearts. You
know, it doesn't go through your mental capacity, it just moves you and it will
let you cry. It's worth it doing a show and when you touch a crowd and move
yourself at the same time. You change lives and you change the world." To hear jewel say that please click here

Jewel grew up on a 800-acre homestead in Homer, Alaska. She started performing at the age of
five, by doing shows with her parents for tourists. Her Junior and Senior years of high school were
spent at Interlochen Fine Arts Academy in Michigan. It was a very expensive private school, and
70% of Jewel's tuition was paid for by a scholarship. Jewel's first solo concert paid off the other
30% of the expenses. After school Jewel moved back to San Diego, and after a
few dead end jobs, Jewel decided to move into her VW van, with peanut butter, carrot sticks, and a
guitar, and settled down to write songs. Soon afterward, Jewel started performing in a coffeehouse
in Pacific Beach called, Inner Change. Jewel was frequently joined onstage with lead singer of the
Rugburns, (who she's currently on tour with,) Steve Poltz. Some time after this, Jewel's audience at
the Inner Change started to grow, and she became very well known in the area, so well known that
Atlantic Records found out about her, and decided to sign her. Her first record, Pieces of You, was
released on February 28, 1995, and that bring's up to the current time...it it has sold over millions of copies and is bveing called by me one of the best cd's ever.
