[[I Am the Band|Jewel Kilcher]] (1974-) , better known by just her first name, has been singing solo professionally since early 1995, with the release of her CD ''Pieces of You'', which went platinum twelve times, becoming one of the best-selling debut albums of all time. [[Signature Song|"Foolish Games"]], a single on this CD, held the record for the longest chart run of a single (sixty-five weeks), and still holds the second-longest chart run.
 
She has since released other albums, including a [[Genre Shift|few shifts]] [[Out-of-Genre Experience|in musical style]], which led to varying degrees of success. It should be noted that the main offender of this, her album 0304, debuted at at number two on the Billboard 200 and quickly went gold. Her later albums have suffered the opposite, most notably the foray into [[Country Music]] with ''Perfectly Clear'' and ''Sweet and Wild''.
 
Characterized by guitar and folky sounds as well as wordy lyrics and [[Painful Rhyme|imperfect rhymes]], Jewel also has released two books, a poetry book and an autobiography. She has also starred in the movie Ride with the Devil, and has guest-starred on numerous TV shows. She's also a well-known philanthropist, donating a portion of her income [https://web.archive.org/web/20190727150825/http://www.highergroundhumanity.org/ Higher Ground for Humanity], particularly [http://www.jeweljk.com/?content=project_clean_water The Clean Water Project], as well as being a spokeswoman for the group ''Stop Breast Cancer for Life''.
 
She currently lives with her husband Ty Murray on a ranch in Stephenville, Texas.
