Life
Lisa Miskovsky became known in Sweden back in 2001 with her debut album Lisa Miskovsky and the single Driving One of Your Cars . She has won two Rockbjörnen Awards, one for best Swedish newcomer and one for best Swedish female artist of the year.
In 2003 she made it to the top of the Swedish charts with the album Fallingwater . The album's popularity is mainly due to the two songs Sing to Me and Lady Stardust . The latter also became known outside of Sweden. The follow-up album Changes in 2006 was also very successful in Sweden, but was ignored outside of Sweden.
In 2006, she was on the album Come Clarity of Melodic Death Metal - band In Flames in the song Dead End to hear.
In the computer game Mirror's Edge , which was released in 2009, she sings the theme song Still Alive (not to be confused with the theme song of the same name in the computer game Portal ).
Part of their music is produced by Joakim Berg , who is also known as the songwriter for the Swedish rock band Kent .
In addition to her career as a solo artist, Lisa Miskovsky also works as a songwriter for other interpreters. Among other things, she wrote the song Shape of My Heart for the Backstreet Boys .
