It was the first song most fans ever heard from the great new singer they called Jewel. After two years, Jewel was an overnight success. She appeared on the cover of Time, Rolling Stone and other magazines, earned a Best New Artist Grammy nomination and teamed with Mike Myers to present an award at the Grammys telecast. The ball still stands out for her 23 years later. There was also her December performance in Rome.
She sang there at the sixth annual Concert for the Vatican, which had been headlined the year before by Bob Dylan. That incident made me realize I owed myself a lot more and that only kindness matters. Jewel had moved to San Diego in , at the age of 18, and got a job working at a computer warehouse. She says she was fired after refusing to sleep with her boss. Unable to pay rent, she began living in her car.
I was a decent barista, a better barista than I was answering phones at a computer warehouse. She would hit these really high notes, like an opera singer, then could go down really deep. Some of her songs were 10 minutes long, without a chorus. It was like lightning striking.
It was all her and we were just lucky to be around at the time. Before lightning struck, Jewel approached Inner Change owner Porter and asked if she could do a weekly Thursday night gig there. Porter, well-liked by local musicians for both paying and feeding them, had never heard Jewel before but readily agreed.
When she sang, you got goosebumps. So, at first, the audience at the Inner Change was all guys who wanted to date her. Over a period of months, Jewel slowly built up a following that grew from a few people to lines out the door. Then came an array of record company executives from Los Angeles.
The ensuing bidding war saw Jewel turn down a million-dollar signing bonus in order to retain more long-term control over her music. That she was an acoustic solo artist at a time when the San Diego indie-rock scene was exploding — thank to such bands as Rocket From The Crypt , Unwritten Law , rust which shared the same manager as Jewel and the Poltz-led Rugburns which later backed Jewel on at least one national tour — proved to be an advantage for her.
Moreover, Jewel had honed many of the songs on her first album at the Inner Change. Proceeds from the Nov. That Jewel was herself an at-risk youth not long after moving to San Diego is a key part of her story. So, I made a really conscious choice to be honest and vulnerable as a singer and songwriter. There were just two people at my first Inner Change gig, but I did open up a vein on stage and it did bleed. I felt good, because it was visceral, and I was able to make those two people viscerally feel what I was feeling.
Astroworld organizers had extensive medical, security plans. Did they follow them? Music festival goers recount the chaos of that day, when eight people died, two dozen were hospitalized and scores more were injured. In November , Jewel embarked on another musical transformation when she signed with Valory Records and began working on her first country album. Perfectly Clear hit retail stores in June and debuted at No. In early , Jewel announced that she was working on a new album.
Lullaby , a collection of new songs and covers of popular nursery rhymes, was released in May Her next album, the country-flavored Sweet and Wild , featured the single "Stay Here Forever," which also appeared on the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Valentine's Day.
Jewel then revisited the "children's songs for all ages" theme with The Merry Goes 'Round Along with featuring several songs that were familiar to fans from her live performances, the album included a collaboration with Dolly Parton on "My Father's Daughter. Additionally, she immersed herself in the world of reality TV competitions by serving as a judge on shows like Nashville Star and Platinum Hit. For the role, Jewel dyed her hair brown and had veneers applied to her teeth, straightening her signature crooked smile.
Actress Reese Witherspoon had previously portrayed the singer in the film Walk the Line , and won an Oscar for her performance. Amid her early pop success, Jewel published a collection of poetry, A Night Without Armor , which quickly became a best seller. She followed with Chasing Down the Dawn: Stories from the Road , a collection of musings and reflections from her journals over the years.
In , the artist published a more traditional memoir, Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story , which included the revelations that her father had been abusive and that her mom had embezzled money while serving as her business manager.
Jewel has also devoted her time to helping others. She established Higher Ground for Humanity, a charitable foundation that handles projects in many different countries, in Some of the organization's efforts include helping to provide clean drinking water to communities around the world.
