She began vocal lessons at eight and received her first guitar at 14, quickly writing her first song, “Fallen.” She attended Sedona Red Rock High School before completing her education through homeschooling to focus on her music career.

In 2002, she partnered with Carlos Santana for “The Game of Love,” which earned a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Her third solo album, *Hotel Paper*, released in 2003, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum. It included the successful single “Are You Happy Now?.” In 2005, she formed the country music duo The Wreckers with Jessica Harp, releasing the album *Stand Still, Look Pretty* in May 2006, which was certified Gold and earned a Grammy nomination for “Leave the Pieces.”
After The Wreckers disbanded in 2007, Branch continued her solo career, contributing to soundtracks and collaborating with artists like Chris Isaak and Timbaland.
