Jewel

2005 marks the tenth anniversary of the release of Jewel's debut album, "PIECES OF YOU." Over the past decade, she has continued to explore fresh musical avenues, branching out from her folk roots to incorporate rock, pop, country, blues, jazz, and classical influences into her work. Each successive album has found Jewel widening her artistic scope, while retaining her unique personal style and authenticity.

Jewel's five albums to date have sold over 25 million copies worldwide, and she enjoys a career longevity rare among her generation of artists. Her most recent release, 2003's "0304," premiered at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking both the highest-debuting and highest-charting album of Jewel's career to date. It was also her fourth album to hit the top ten on the national charts, a testament not only to her ongoing growth as an artist, but to her enduring stature as one of the most admired and accomplished young women of our time.

"0304" found Jewel once again expanding her musical universe, this time by incorporating modern dance beats and textures. And while some may have found the album to be a major departure, for Jewel it represented an organic evolution of her work as a lyricist, composer, vocalist, and musician. "It was really a natural extension for me," she says. "I began writing songs when I was 16, and I heard all kinds of stuff in my head. But I didn't have the skill to do it on guitar, so my first record was what I was able to get out of my head through my hands. Over the years, I've learned more about the craft... more about how to write, more about playing, more about music, and more about lyrics. I'm finally able to further embellish the ideas I started with a long time ago."

There. Oh yeah- she also has a book of poetry in print.
