In 2010, she founded the Lisa Loeb Eyewear Collection, which is based on her own designs.[7] In addition, she created The Camp Lisa Foundation, a non-profit that sends kids to camp. It is funded by Loeb's own organic and fair trade coffee, Wake Up! Brew.[14] She was honored as the 2015 Camp Champion by the American Camp Association (ACA).[15] She constructed a crossword puzzle with Doug Peterson for The New York Times, which was published on June 6, 2017.[16]

Early life and education
Lisa Loeb was born to a Jewish[11] family in Bethesda, Maryland,[12] but was raised in Dallas, Texas.[13] Her parents still live in Dallas. Her mother, Gail, was the president of the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance and Foundation, and her father, Peter Loeb, was a gastroenterologist.[14] She has a younger sister, songwriter Debbie Loeb. As a child, she studied piano, but later switched to guitar.[3] She attended The Hockaday School, an all-girls private school. For two years, she had her own radio show on 88.5 KRSM-FM, a 10-watt station licensed to the nearby all-boys St. Marks School of Texas.[15] After graduating from high school in 1986, she went to Brown University, where she graduated in 1990[3] with a degree in comparative literature.[16]

Music career
Early years and first bands (1980s–1993)
At Brown in the mid-1980s, Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell formed a band named Liz and Lisa,[16] with future singer/songwriter and classmate Duncan Sheik as a guitarist. The duo released the albums Liz and Lisa (1989) and Liz and Lisa - Days Were Different (1990) independently.[3] After college, bassist Rick Lassiter and drummer Chad Fischer joined the band.[citation needed] After developing a following together, Loeb and Mitchell parted ways a few years after college.

Loeb attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for a session of summer school, and in 1990 formed a full band called Nine Stories. The band, which was named after the book by J.D. Salinger, included Tim Bright on guitar, Jonathan Feinberg on drums, and Joe Quigley on bass. Loeb began working with producer Juan Patiño to make the cassette Purple Tape in 1992.[3] It included the earliest recordings of later popular tracks such as "Do You Sleep?", "Snow Day", "Train Songs", and "It's Over".[16][17] Loeb sold the violet-colored cassette to fans at gigs and used it as a sonic calling card to industry gatekeepers.[3] She and her band also made a recording of her song "Stay (I Missed You)" during the same period.[18]

Loeb also developed a following from her solo acoustic performances on the New York City coffeehouse circuit and the rock club circuit. She travelled to cities such as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Dallas, but focused mainly on New York City. She played acoustically and with her band in folk and rock clubs, including at CBGB. Loeb also performed at music festivals such as the New Music Seminar and South by Southwest.[3]

"Stay (I Missed You)" (1994)
Main article: Stay (I Missed You)
Loeb's big break came through her friendship with actor Ethan Hawke,[15] who lived in an apartment across the street from her in New York City. She told Cosmopolitan that she met Hawke in the NYC theater community where, as she phrased it, "I made music for his plays."[19] Loeb gave Hawke the Juan Patiño-produced version of "Stay (I Missed You);"[15] he in turn gave it to director Ben Stiller during the making of the 1994 film Reality Bites, with Winona Ryder. Stiller subsequently decided to use the song in the film's ending credits,[15] and it was included by Ron Fair on the soundtrack on RCA Records.[3] Hawke also directed a rare one-take video on film, a continuous steadicam shot operated by Robin Buerki.

"Stay (I Missed You)" ultimately went on to become a number one hit on the American charts.[20] When her song hit number one, Loeb earned the distinction of being the first artist to top the Hot 100 before being signed to any record label.[3] The single reached Gold status on July 12, 1994, just over three months after its official release date.[21] Loeb and Nine Stories received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Group, and were named Best International Newcomer in the Brit Awards.[3]

In 2019, Loeb released a limited edition 12" red vinyl pressing of the song for the 25th anniversary of the song. The release included four unreleased versions of "Stay (I Missed You)", "Truthfully", "Waiting for Wednesday", and "I Do", recorded live in January 2013 in Japan.

Loeb also appeared at the 25th anniversary screening of Reality Bites at the Tribeca Film Festival, with the film's stars Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, Ben Stiller, and Janeane Garofalo, and performed "Stay (I Missed You)" during the film's end credits.

Tails and Firecracker (1995–1999)
Main articles: Tails (album) and Firecracker (Lisa Loeb album)
In September 1995, Loeb's debut album, Tails, credited to Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories, was released on Geffen Records.[22] The album was co-produced by Juan Patiño, her then longtime boyfriend.[22] "Stay" was included on the album, and Loeb also managed a top 20 hit with "Do You Sleep?" and two moderately successful radio hits with "Taffy" and "Waiting for Wednesday". The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 1, 1995.[21] Critics were also favorable to the album, with Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly, in particular, noting, "Loeb has an undeniable gift for creating an air of intimacy and vulnerability, which may well be enough for 'Stay' fans looking for additional doses of contemplative melancholy."[22][23]

After the release of Tails Tim Bright and Jonathan Feinberg left Nine Stories and were replaced with Mark Spencer and Ronny Crawford respectively.

In 1997, Loeb released a second major-label album on Geffen, Firecracker, and began experimenting even more with orchestrations done with Dan Coleman. At this point, Loeb started going under her own name for the albums instead of using the band name, although she still continued to tour worldwide with Nine Stories, as well as acoustically as she had done from the start.[citation needed] Firecracker included hit singles such as "I Do", which received radio success, peaking at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and music television.[citation needed] The album was certified Gold on June 10, 2008.[21] She subsequently toured with The Wallflowers and Chris Isaak, and also performed at Lilith Fair.[3]

Guest appearances (2000–2001)
In 2000, Loeb participated in the Ozzy Osbourne tribute album Bat Head Soup, performing "Goodbye to Romance" with Dweezil Zappa on guitar.

Other international work includes Loeb's guest performance on the song "Anti-Hero" for an all-female Japanese musical group Rins album Inland Sea..[24] Loeb contributed vocals to New Found Glory's cover of "Stay", from their 2007 LP From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II, as well as performing the song live with the band.[25]

Though Reality Bites was the first, Loeb's music has been featured in additional soundtracks. The popular single "How" was included on the soundtracks for films Twister and Jack Frost, and was heard in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Homecoming". "We Could Still Belong Together" earned a spot on the Legally Blonde soundtrack in 2001, while "I Wish" can be heard on the soundtrack for Anywhere But Here (1999).

לוב הייתה במערכת יחסים עם דויזל זאפה בין השנים 1998–2004. היא נישאה לרועי הרשקוביץ ב-2009, ולהם שני ילדים - לילה רוז ואמט קולי. קריירה במוזיקה לאחר סיום הלימודים, לוב למדה זמן קצר בבית הספר למוזיקה ברקלי בבוסטון, אך במהרה העתיקה לניו יורק ונכנסה לסצנת המוזיקה. היא הקימה להקה בשם Nine Stories (תשעה סיפורים) על שם אוסף הסיפורים של ג'. ד. סלינג'ר. היא גם התחילה להקליט שירים עם חואן פטיניו, מפיק תקליטים שלימים גם נהיה בן זוגה.

כעבור מספר שנים בהן נאבקה לקבל הכרה, התמזל מזלה כשאית'ן הוק, שהיה שכן וחבר, ביקש ממנה להקליט שיר לפסקול אחד מסרטיו - מציאות נושכת. השיר היה "Stay (I Missed You)", שיצא כסינגל ונסק לראש מצעדי הפופ, דבר שלא קרה קודם לכן עבור אמן ללא חוזה הקלטות. כתוצאה, לוב הוחתמה לחוזה הקלטות, ואף קיבלה מועמדות לפרס גראמי.

אלבומה הראשון, Tails, יצא ב-1995, וקיבל מעמד אלבום זהב, כמו גם אלבומה השני מ-1997, Firecracker, שכלל את הסינגל "I Do". אלבומה השלישי, Cake and Pie, שיצא ב-2002, לא קודם על ידי חברת התקליטים, אז לוב לקחה את העניינים לידיה - היא קנתה את הזכויות להקלטות המאסטר, ושחררה מחדש את האלבום עם שירים חדשים ושם חדש - Hello Lisa - דרך הקלטו ארטמיס. ב-2003 היא הוציאה אלבום ילדים ראשון, שזכה להצלחה ונתן לה כיוון נוסף בקריירה המוזיקלית.

בנוסף להקלטות הסטודיו שלה, לוב השתתפה כאמנית-אורחת באלבומים רבים - מחווה לאוזי אוסבורן, מחווה לשר, ומחווה לשנאיה טויין ביניהם. היא גם תרמה לפסקולי סרטים וסדרות, כולל לא רק בלונדינית, Twister, האנטומיה של גריי, ובאפי ציידת הערפדים.
