Lisa and her family moved to Dallas, Texas where she was raised as Jewish with her three siblings, one of whom is Debbie Loeb – also a singer and actress. Her love for music came from an early age, as she studied piano, and then learned to play guitar. She went to The Hockday School, a private educational institution only for girls. Following her matriculation, Lisa enrolled at the prestigious Brown University, from which she graduated with a degree in comparative literature.
While in University, Lisa`s interest for music reached a whole new level, as she formed a duo, called Liz and Lisa, with Elizabeth Mitchell, and with the addition of Duncan Sheik as guitarist. They released an album entitled “Liz And Lisa” in 1989, and a year later “Liz And Lisa- Days Were Different”. However, following their graduation, Elizabeth left the group, and soon Rick Lassiter and Chad Fisher joined the band, but she then started a band called Nine Stories, with Tim Bright, Joe Quigley and Jonathan Feinberg. Lisa`s next album came out in 1992, entitled “Purple Tape”, as a cassette only, sold to fans at concerts. In 1994 came her big break, as Lisa`s song called “Stay (I Missed You)” was used as soundtrack for the film “Reality Bites”, and became a hit, topping the US Hot 100 chart, and was No. 1 in Canada.

In 2003 she voiced the character of Mary Jane Watson in “Spider-Man”, and in 2004 she portrayed Sasha Fitzgerald in “Serial Killing 4 Dummys”. Her next big role was the one of Victoria in the film “Fright Night” (2011), with Anton Yelchin and Collin Farrell in lead roles. The same year she was selected to voice Princess Winger in the animated TV series “Jake And The Never Land Pirates” (2011-2014), and most recently she appeared in the film “Helicopter Mom” (2014), with Mark Boone Junior and Nia Vardalos.
