About
Vanessa Lee Carlton is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her debut album, Be Not Nobody (2002), released by A&M Records, received a platinum certification in the United States, and her debut single “A Thousand Miles” spent 41 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned three Grammy nominations. The album also spawned the singles “Ordinary Day” and “Pretty Baby”. Her next album, Harmonium (2004) debuted at number 33 on the Billboard 200.
