Lisa Anne Loeb (born March 11, 1968 in Bethesda , Maryland ) is an American singer and actress. Their music can be assigned to the music style of the singer-songwriter , with elements of pop , pop-rock and folk . With regard to her appearance, she achieved a certain fame as a convinced wearer of glasses .
Life
Career
Loeb studied literature at Brown University in Providence ( Rhode Island ). During this time she began making music with Elizabeth Mitchell under the name "Liz and Lisa". They released two CDs, Liz and Lisa (1989) and Liz and Lisa - Days Were Different (1990), which were only pressed in small numbers.
After Lisa Loeb had decided to continue as a solo musician and recorded the CD Purple Tape in 1992, she had her musical breakthrough in 1994. She was discovered by actor and friend Ethan Hawke , who lived in an apartment across the street from her in New York City. She met Hawke through mutual friends in the New York theater community. Her first hit Stay (I Missed You) , which was heard through the use of Hawke on the soundtrack to the film Reality Bites , reached number 1 on the US charts that year without Lisa Loeb having signed a record deal at the time . She was the first female artist to do this (after 18 years in 2012, such a success was achieved by artist Macklemore with the title Thrift Shop ).
Stay (I Missed You) can also be found on Tails , her first CD released by a record company and recorded with her band Nine Stories . The album achieved gold status in the US.
1997 followed their second album Firecracker , which - like their later releases - could not build on the commercial success of Tails . Nevertheless, like the single Stay , it received a gold award. The song How from the second album was used for the soundtrack to the film Twister .
Her third album was first released in 2002 under the name Cake and Pie , then again in the same year with several new tracks under the name Hello Lisa .
In 2003 Lisa Loeb recorded an album for children with Catch the Moon , for which she worked again with Elizabeth Mitchell. The album The Way It Really Is followed in 2004 .
In February 2006 a compilation of her greatest successes appeared under the title The Very Best of Lisa Loeb .
Private
After Loeb was in a relationship with Dweezil Zappa for six years at the turn of the millennium , she married her fiancé Roey Hershkovitz on January 31, 2009 in New York. The two had met three years earlier at a business meeting for a television show, Hershkovitz is the music director on the Conan O'Brien show . The couple have two children together - a daughter named Lyla Rose (born 2009) and a son named Emet Kuli (born 2012).
