Biografia

Lisa Miskovsky quickly placed herself on the Swedish rock music charts with her debut album Lisa Miskovsky and single “Driving One Of Your Cars”, with Swedish releases in 2001. Following this release, she received two Swedish Rock Bear awards; one for Best Swedish Newcomer, and the other for Best Swedish Female Artist of the Year. She followed up her musical success with the album Fallingwater, released in 2003, which quickly climbed to number one in the Swedish pop charts, even reaching platinum sales. The album’s success came greatly from two of its songs “Lady Stardust” and “Sing To Me” which both became hits. “Lady Stardust” was also a radio hit in countries like Germany and the United Kingdom.

Some of her music was produced by Joakim Berg, also known as a songwriter for the Swedish rock band Kent, and Simon Nordberg.

Miskovsky is a songwriter as well as a singer and musician, had the original idea[1] and wrote the lyrics to “Shape of My Heart”, performed by Backstreet Boys.

Miskovsky contributed vocals to the track “Dead End” on Come Clarity, the 2006 release from Swedish melodic death metal outfit In Flames. However, she does not actually appear in the band’s special edition DVD included in Come Clarity. Instead, her part is lipsync’d by one of In Flames’ roadies, who happens to be a heavy-set male.

Miskovsky performed the theme song “Still Alive” for Mirror’s Edge, a first person action-adventure video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE). A remix album titled Still Alive - the Remixes was released on 11 November 2008 to coincide with the North American release date of Mirror’s Edge. The album featured Miskovsky’s original version, along with remixes by Benny Benassi, Junkie XL, Paul van Dyk, Armand Van Helden, and Teddybears.[2]

Besides music, Miskovsky enjoys snowboarding, even participating in the Swedish national snowboard team, and she is also known to be fond of ice hockey and surfing.
