Birth Name:
Michelle Jacquet DeSevren Branch
Born in Flagstaff, Arizona, Michelle Branch began working on her music at an early age. By the age of 15, she left her Sedona, Arizona high school for home schooling, which would give her more time to focus on her music. This dedication paid off, and a few years later Michelle was the opening act for popular teen sensation Hanson.

In 2000 Michelle released her debut album 'Broken Bracelet' on an independant record label. The following year she released 'The Spirit Room' which featured memorable hits such as 'Everywhere' and 'All You Wanted'. This successful album put Michelle

More in a league of her own -There were no other femal artists her age in the charts who wrote and performed all the songs on a record. 'The Spirit Room' sold over 2.5 million copies and gained Michelle a Grammy Award, an MTV Viewer's Choice Award on the basis of 4 top 10 hits and sold out tours with Sheryl Crow, a smash duet with Carlos Santana and an invitation from the Dixie Chicks to tour arenas this summer.

Branch is new album is entitled 'Hotel Paper' and features the tracks 'Are you happy now?' 'Breathe' and 'Game of Love' featuring Carlos Santana. The reason the ablum is called 'Hotel Paper' is because Michelle had spent alot of the time writing the tracks for this album in hotels all over the world whilst on tour!

    She's a very talented singer hide show

    Her voice is original. I like how she writes her songs and plays instruments like guitar. She's a great singer but she needs to be played more on the radio. When I listen to the radio I rarley hear her music. Her songs are all great but I don't know what stations they could be played on. Not hip-hop not rap or old music and her pop stuff can't be played on country radio. She's good at what she does but it's a good thing she became country because now there will actually be stations that will play her music. I can wait till her next single and for her Febuary album to come out. I'm sure it will be just as great if not better than The Spirit Room and Hotel paper and most likely better than her Wreakers album Stand Still Look Pretty. My favorite songs are, Are You Happy Now?, All you Wanted, and Breathe but I love all her other songs like If only she knew, You Get Me, Hotel Paper, and Where are you now?.

    Great singer!!! hide show

    I love Michelle Branch sooo much! I have both of her CDs, The Spirit Room and Hotel Paper. She has a beautiful voice! I even have her Wreckers CD. She is really great at both country and pop music! I also know that she's classically trained, which is sooo awesome! I wanna know what she sounds like when she sings opera! She probably has a great opera voice. Her music is great, and it speaks to people. She writes a lot of songs I can totally relate to, and I can feel the emotion in them. She is so amazing!

    Michelle Branch: one of the few people who I really, and truly, enjoy listening to. hide show

    I have to say, when I found out she was born in Arizona, I nearly fell over. Though it may not matter, I thought it was so cool to know she was from a place where I am currently living. The first time I heard a Michelle Branch song was around fourteen and when I was surfing YouTube. Nonetheless, I found a song on there that made me just stop and listen to. Soon, it was on my favorites and I listened to it all the time. The song was, "All You Wanted". I thought it was the most amazing song ever. It had meaning and depth to everyday things we all deal with each other.

    Even though I liked her song, I thought to myself, "She's probably just another singer, who doesn't have any other good songs." I started noticing songs on the radio, like "Everywhere." I asked my friend who was singing it, and she answered, "Michelle Branch, I think." I started to listen to her other songs and was amazed. I loved them! Every single one. "Desperately" stuck out the most. I still haven't found her CD's and I'm disappointed Target, Wal-Mart and other stores like that don't hold her songs. But I will. Yes, I know I will.

    Definately original. hide show

    I used to like Michelle Branch when she was a young and a beginning singer. I recently became reaccquainted with her music on the radio on day, and I'm so glad that I did!! She's amazing. Her style of music is different and enjoyable. I'll admit that she's not the absolute best singer that I've ever heard, but every singer has their flaws. Michelle is one of the greats though. I don't think that I've ever heard any other music like hers. It's unique and refreshing to hear after listening to some of that junk that's out there today. Michelle Branch is definately a classic.
