About

Michelle Jacquet Branch (born 2 July 1983) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. She won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "The Game of Love", a 2002 collaboration with Santana. Branch was born in Sedona, Arizona, to Peggy and David Branch. She is of Dutch-Indonesian and French descent through her mother and Irish descent through her father. Her maternal grandmother was from East Java, Indonesia, and was interned in a Japanese camp during the Second World War before later settling in the Netherlands. Branch's mother emigrated with her family to the United States at the age of five, where they settled in Arizona. Branch began singing at the age of three and took voice lessons at Northern Arizona University from the age of eight. She received her first guitar for her 14th birthday and taught herself to play, writing her first song, "Fallen", within a week. She attended Sedona Red Rock High School before completing her final two years of secondary education through home schooling to concentrate on her music career. With the support of her parents, Branch performed at local venues in Sedona and recorded the independently released album "Broken Bracelet", which was issued in 2000 by Twin Dragon Records. The album consisted of songs she had written from the age of 14 onwards. In 1999, she posted songs on the Rolling Stone website, attracting the attention of Hanson and record producer Jeff Rabhan, which led to opening performances for Hanson in 2000. The original recordings of "Broken Bracelet" were destroyed during the 2010 Nashville floods. In 2001, Branch signed with Maverick Records and began working with producer John Shanks on her second album.
