With the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Spring Awakening, composer Duncan Sheik has successfully accomplished what few other pop or rock artists before him have done-create original music that seems right at home on Broadway yet feels very much his own. Those efforts earned him a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. The 1996 hit single, "Barely Breathing," from his self-titled, Grammy-nominated debut album spent 55 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100. Only three other singles in the history of the chart have ever topped that run.
