Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb, whose multi-dimensional career encompasses music, film, television, voice-overs, and even children's recordings, launched her career with the Platinum-selling hit song "Stay (I Missed You)" from the film Reality Bites. The fact that the single rose to No. 1—the only single by an unsigned artist to do so—and still resonates with people today is a testament to her extraordinary songwriting and storytelling abilities.
