Jewel Bücher

Die junge Folksängerin Jewel hat 1995 die Musikwelt auf den Kopf gestellt, nachdem ihr Debütalbum \"Pieces of You\" 8-fach mit Platin ausgezeichnet wurde. Doch Musik spielt zwar die erste Geige in Jewels Leben, aber nicht die einzige: Mit ihrem ersten Gedichtband rangierte sie in den USA mehrere Monate auf der Bestsellerliste der New York Times. Liebe, Sehnsucht und das Leben \"on the Road\" sind Jewels Themen - und natürlich die stimmungsvollen Eindrücke ihrer Heimat Alaska.

"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

AIready a legendary performer in the music industry, Jewel has been writing poetry, short stories, and prose since she was young. She's also a bestselling author, poet, and actress.
