Michelle branch

My style when I was 17 was very low-key with jeans, T-shirts, and Converse. I was signed to a major record label by then, so I had stylists helping me.

If I have to try and write one more country single, I'll lose my mind.

Music is my release.

I would love to be in musical theater and be on Broadway. If someone were to offer me a position to do something like that, I wouldnt pass it down. Im a huge fan of musicals and I really want to do...

I never had an official job, but I did play at a local cantina every Tuesday night, and I babysat a lot.

Ten years into it, I can finally go, 'Oh, I just want to make a record that's fun to make and I don't have to prove that I deserve to be here.'

I was definitely a choir and theater geek.

If you want to get my attention, wear a pirate outfit.

I followed my heart and figured that if I tried and failed, at least I'd know that I tried.

I put myself into character for my songs.
