| Biography of Jewel Kilcher |
| Jewel was born in Payson, Utah, to Atz Kilcher, of Swiss-German origin, and Lenedra Carroll. She is the cousin of actress Q'Orianka Kilcher. She spent most of her young life in Homer, Alaska, living with her father. The home she grew up in did not have indoor plumbing; it had a simple outhouse instead. She and her father sometimes earned a living by singing in bars and taverns. It was from these experiences she learned to yodel, a quality demonstrated in many of her songs. Her father was a Mormon, but they stopped attending the church shortly before she turned eight. Her grandfather was a state senator involved in drafting Alaska's constitution for its admission into the United States in 1959. |
