Singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb will keynote the Guild of Music Supervisors’ 10th annual State of Music in Media Conference, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 17 at the West LA College campus in Culver City, Calif. People can also attend virtually, via a live stream on Zoom. The all-day conference encompasses the use of music in film, TV, video games, advertising and trailers.

Thirty years ago this month, Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories became the first artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 before being personally signed to a record label. She achieved the feat with her song “Stay (I Miss You),” which was heard in the film Reality Bites. It topped the chart for the first three weeks of August 1994.
