Molly Burch (born October 23, 1990) is an American singer-songwriter. Based in Los Angeles, California, her music often reflects themes of heartbreak and loss. She is the lead vocalist and writer. Burch studied jazz vocal performance at UNC Asheville and gravitated towards vocalists such as Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. A reviewer described her music as an "intoxicating ode to an unrequited love" as from a "smoky club chanteuse".
In 2025, Burch retired from the music industry to start Picnic Studio, a nonprofit art space for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Early life Burch was raised in Los Angeles. Both her parents were involved in the film industry; her mother Jackie Burch was a casting director, and her father worked in film development. Her sister is screenwriter Samy Burch.
