Growing up in Los Angeles with a writer / producer father and a casting director mother, Burch’s childhood was filled with old Hollywood musicals and the sounds of Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. After finding her voice in adolescence, Burch packed up for the University of North Carolina in Asheville to study Jazz Vocal Performance.
“I was always really interested in singing before songwriting.

Joined by Toliver in Austin a year later the two connected with Dan Duszynski of Cross Record and they recorded all the songs on ‘Please Be Mine’ at his idyllic studio in Dripping Springs, Texas. Motivated by the hourly rate, Burch and her band recorded all the basic tracks and vocals live in one room and in one day, with minimal overdubs for keys and back-up vocals happening a day later.

A debut album of beautiful, wistful love songs of loss, loneliness and reconnecting.
