Jewel is een Amerikaanse singer-songwriter en artiest wiens werk vaak de grenzen tussen folk, pop en country overschrijdt. Haar teksten staan bekend om hun introspectieve aard, lyrische schoonheid en diepgaande verkenning van de menselijke psyche en interpersoonlijke relaties. Ze heeft het publiek betoverd met haar authentieke voordracht en oprechtheid, die resoneert in zowel haar liedjes als haar poëzie. Haar werk weerspiegelt vaak persoonlijke ervaringen en biedt luisteraars troost en inspiratie.
"When Jewel's first album, Pieces of You, topped the charts in 1995, her emotional voice and vulnerable performance were groundbreaking. Drawing comparisons to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, a singer-songwriter of her kind had not emerged in decades. Now, with more than thirty million albums sold worldwide, Jewel tells the story of her life, and the lessons learned from her experience and her music."--Amazon.com
