Atz Kilcher is a tv personality, singer, and artist from the United States. He is well-known for playing the lead in Alaska: The Last Frontier on the Discovery Channel. It concentrates on the Kilcher family and their home, which was built on the Kachemak Bay in Homer, Alaska, about a couple of centuries ago.
Atz’s most well-known claim to fame is that he is the father of Texas-based pop singer Jewel Kilcher. Jewel has issued a total of 12 rock singles since her 1995 album “Pieces of You,” many of which have achieved multi-platinum status. Global album sales for Jewel reached 30 million as of December 2013.
Born on September 2nd, 1947, and reared in Homer, Alaska, Atz Kilcher. Atz Kilcher was raised in a family of musicians with 7 siblings who, due to the location of their family’s house, spent numerous years attending school at residence. Yule Kilcher, Atz’s father, established the Kilcher Homestead on 160 acres of government land after relocating to Alaska in 1940. He was also a state legislator. He has six sisters and his brother Otto as siblings.
The Kilcher family home-schooled all of their kids. Atz and his siblings were eventually able to commute daily to the closest government school thanks to the construction of a road near enough to get to the Kilcher residence. The parents of the children, Yule and Ruth, arrived in Alaska from Switzerland in the 1930s and were among the area’s first residents.
Before relocating to Alaska, Ruth was a highly accomplished vocalist who imparted all of his knowledge of music to his children. In his 2018 memoir, Kilcher said that as a child, he frequently had to deal with his dad’s furious outbursts.
Thanks to his parents, Atz became incredibly passionate about music and performing at a young age. The Kilcher family performed live concerts and music while touring Alaska and Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1967, Kilcher was enlisted in the Vietnam War. He was only in the army for two years.
Kilcher wedded Lenerda Carroll after participating in the Vietnam War and coming back home. The couple moved on to have three children: Jewel, a Grammy-winning folk singer who now calls Texas home, and sons Shane and Atz.
Kilcher’s predicted net worth in 2022 will be $5 million. In addition, he possesses rental properties and a 613-acre plot of land, each of which is worth about 3.6 million dollars.
