Michelle
Branch
- Beginning with the
acoustic based self-released Broken
Bracelet in 2000, Michelle Branch has
always been a young woman in a big hurry.
The release of Michelle Branch's major
label debut The Spirit Room in 2001
ushered in an entirely new movement in pop
music, busting open the door for the new
crop of females who write and play their
own songs, after all--there was no other
female artist on the charts who wrote and... |

Ashanti
- Ashanti Douglas, 13 October 1980, Glen
Cove, New York, USA. For urban R&B singer
Ashanti it has been a case of third time

hit in early 2000 with... |
