As a solo recording artist, she signed to Madonna's Maverick record label in early 2001, and released her debut album The Spirit Room later that year. The album contained the hit singles "Everywhere" and "All You Wanted" and was followed up with Hotel Paper in 2003. In 2005, she formed the country music duo the Wreckers with Jessica Harp, and produced the Grammy-nominated single "Leave the Pieces". The Wreckers disbanded in 2007 to pursue their respective solo careers. Since then, she has released extended plays in 2010 and 2011, and a fourth solo album, Hopeless Romantic in 2017. Her fifth studio album, The Trouble with Fever, was released in 2022.
Early life and education
Branch was born on July 2, 1983, in Sedona, Arizona,[1][2][3] to David and Peggy Branch.[4] Her father is of partial Irish ancestry, and her mother is of Dutch-Indonesian ("Indo") and French descent.[4][5] Her maternal grandmother was held in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. After the war she moved to Holland, where Branch's mother was born. Her mother was five years old when the family moved from the Netherlands to Arizona.[5][6]
Beginning to sing at the age of three, Branch enrolled in voice lessons at Northern Arizona University when she was eight,[4][7][8] and received her first guitar for her 14th birthday.[2][3][8] After teaching herself chords, she composed her first song "Fallen" within a week of receiving her guitar.[9] She initially attended Sedona Red Rock High School,[7] but finished the last two years of her high school education through home schooling so that she could focus on her music career.[8]
Career
1983–2000: Broken Bracelet
To support Branch's interests, her parents helped her book local gigs in Sedona, and later financed her independent album Broken Bracelet.[8] Her set list at these gigs included covers of songs by Sheryl Crow, Lisa Loeb, Jewel, and Fleetwood Mac.[9]
In December 1999, she posted two of her songs on the Rolling Stone website, which caught the attention of both pop rock band Hanson and former Rolling Stone writer and Los Angeles record producer Jeff Rabhan, eventually leading to two gigs opening for Hanson in 2000.[4]
In June 2000, Branch self-produced Broken Bracelet,[4] a compilation of songs she wrote starting from when she was 14;[5] the album was released on the independent record label Twin Dragon Records.[4][5] Its title was inspired from a bracelet made by pop singer Jewel, given to Branch by musician Steve Poltz at a Lisa Loeb concert she attended. Poltz told Branch that "when it breaks, you'll be famous."[4] The Broken Bracelet recordings were destroyed in the Nashville floods in May 2010.[10]
In 2001, Branch signed a recording deal with Maverick Records,[4][5][8] where she began working with John Shanks to produce her second album and major-label debut.[11] The album, The Spirit Room, was released in August 2001,[5][11] producing the hit single "Everywhere". The single was a commercial success, winning the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards Viewer's Choice Award.[12] "Everywhere" was later followed by singles "All You Wanted" and "Goodbye to You". In August 2001, she appeared on Total Request Live after "Everywhere" reached No. 4 on the show's chart. Due to the mainstream success of those released singles, The Spirit Room was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA for selling over two million copies in the United States.[13] Branch also sang on the song "Deeper" from Hanson's 2004 album Underneath. VH1 also released a Pop-Up Video for her song "All You Wanted". The Spirit Room has sold 3 million copies worldwide to date.[14]
Branch met Justincase before her debut on Maverick Records, becoming friends over the Internet before meeting in Las Vegas for a music convention in 2000.[15] Justincase was signed to Maverick Records in late 2001 with the help of Branch.[16][17][18] A self-titled album was released on October 29, 2002, and included several collaborations with Branch, including the lead single, "Don't Cry for Us".[19]
Branch's second major label album and third overall album, Hotel Paper, was released in 2003 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling over one million copies.[21][22] However, the album was met with mixed reviews. The lead single, "Are You Happy Now?", was a chart success, earning Branch a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance,[12] though the song lost to Pink's "Trouble". The following singles, however, "Breathe" and "'Til I Get over You", did not match the first single's success. Branching out into television, she appeared in several shows, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer (in an uncredited appearance), American Dreams, and Charmed (as herself). In June 2004, she appeared on MTV's Faking the Video alongside Nick Lachey and JC Chasez. She also appeared in the 2002 Rob Schneider film The Hot Chick as a club DJ.
In July 2005, Branch began collaborating with her backup singer and longtime friend Jessica Harp.[3][23][24][25] They were initially known as the Cass County Homewreckers as a joke by Branch's husband,[26] but they trimmed it down to the Wreckers.[23] Their album attempted to combine their respective genres—pop rock and country. It was originally slated for release in June 2005 but was delayed because of reasons surrounding Branch's pregnancy.[3] The duo's first single "Leave the Pieces" was released in February 2006, while their album Stand Still, Look Pretty was released in May.[23]
Immediately thereafter, Branch wrote an unreleased song for Mandy Moore's 2007 album Wild Hope,[29] and also wrote "Together" for the soundtrack of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2; it was also featured as the final song ever played on the CBS TV soap opera, Guiding Light. In October 2007, she announced that she was working on a new solo album and later reported the title would be Everything Comes and Goes.[2] In June 2008, she played several live shows in preparation for the album's release with her sister Nicole singing backing vocals.
In early 2009, she sang the song "I Lose My Heart" in a duet with Chris Isaak on his new album Mr. Lucky.[30] A video for the first single from the album "Sooner Or Later" was released on July 28, 2009. Also in 2009, she recorded "A Case of You" (originally by Joni Mitchell) for the compilation Covered, A Revolution in Sound which commemorated Warner Bros. Records 50th anniversary.[31] A video was made for the song "This Way" and uploaded to Branch's official YouTube account in October 2009,[32] but it was not released as a single and did not chart. (The video was included on a limited edition DVD entitled The Video Anthology available on michellebranch.com.)[33]Everything Comes and Goes was finally released as a six-track extended play on July 16, 2010, via Branch's website and would be available at all retailers one month later.[34] In 2010, Branch and R&B/hip-hop producer Timbaland collaborated on a pop/R&B song entitled "Getaway" and released a video.[35]
In December 2010, Branch announced her return to her pop/rock roots for her album, West Coast Time.[36][37] In early 2011, Branch released three previously unreleased songs from Everything Comes and Goes including, "Texas In the Mirror", "Take a Chance on Me", and "Long Goodbye", the latter a duet with Dwight Yoakam. On March 22, 2011, in a video regarding updates on the third studio album uploaded via Branch's YouTube account, Branch confirmed that half the album is finished and added that "it's sounding really really good....it's all going well and it's all on time."[38] On April 14, 2011, it was announced that Branch had finished recording the album, she also added that "only mixing/mastering left. Michelle practiced and recorded a few tracks with Tilted Head and FIVE lead singer Joshua Barton, however it is still a work in progress."[39] On May 26, 2011, Branch hosted a live webchat with fans in which she previewed her new single "Loud Music", which was released to the iTunes Store on June 14, 2011. The song was co-written and produced by British writers Jim Irvin and Julian Emery who collaborated with Branch on several songs on the album. In the webcast, Branch also mentioned songs on the album called "Mastermind" and "The Story Of Us" and also added that "Through The Radio" would be a hidden track on the CD. In a previous webcast, she premiered a song from the album called "Spark". During a live outdoor performance at the Warner Brothers building she performed another new song, dedicated to her then-husband Teddy Landau, "For Dear Life". In June 2011, she released the album's first single titled "Loud Music". It has charted on the Adult Pop Songs chart.

On December 12, 2011, Branch released a song titled "If You Happen to Call" for free download on the official website.[41]

Branch has confirmed on her Twitter account that she knew as much as the fans did about the delay. In January 2011, Branch confirmed in an interview with Katie Krause from Hollywire.com that the album would be released later that year.[43] On June 1, 2011, Branch announced that the album was called West Coast Time and slated for a September 2011 release date. On December 25, 2012, Branch confirmed that West Coast Time was scheduled for release in Spring 2013, but the album has not yet been released.[44][45][46]
