Michelle Branch writes or co-writes all of her songs, which often deal with matters of the heart. She's influenced by classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Neil Young) and more contemporary singer-songwriters like Lisa Loeb and Alanis Morissette, but she also draws from movies and literature. She loves Jane Austen novels and romantic comedies - Serendipity is one of her favorites. "I'm a sap," she told Songfacts. "If you were to go on my Netflix queue and see what it recommends to me, it's like period-piece romance dramas, and that's kind of me in a nutshell."
When she was too young to play in bars, she played at local fairs.
Her big break came through a friend of her parents, who met a rock manager from Los Angeles and immediately thought of Michelle. She brought her demo over, and the guy, Jeff Rabhan, became her manager.
