description: "Vanessa Lee Carlton is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, and actress. Her 2002 debut single \"A Thousand Miles\" spent 41 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned three Grammy nominations, becoming her signature song. It preceded her debut album, Be Not Nobody, released by A&M Records that same year and reaching number five on the Billboard 200. It further produced the singles \"Ordinary Day\" and \"Pretty Baby\". Her next album, Harmonium (2004), experienced similar success; its troubled production led Carlton to depart A&M in 2005."
