History of her story
Elena Lipa, originally from Moscow, developed a passion for music and lyric writing at a young age. After performing for four years in musical theatre, she began composing songs at just 10 years old, improving her skills in classical piano, solfeggio, and singing in both Russian and English.
In 2022, she relocated to Vienna to study at a jazz conservatory and adopted the stage name Birch!
Since the release of her first dark pop single "Drama Queen" in January 2024, she has been self-producing, showcasing her talent through symphonic arrangements and powerful vocals. This website serves as an introduction to both the artist and the writer behind the music.
In 2024 she released 8 singles and one music video. Her art noticeably developed and deepened in quality of productions and messages she puts into her music.
The beginning of 2025 became a starting point for even greater progress. With the release of melodic rock female empowerment anthem "Aphrodite's Bloodline" followed by charity campaign for women shelters Birch! not only displayed her musical talents but also revealed a bold aspect of her personality by advocating for important causes.
Her next single, "Silver Flames," paired with an epic music video, further emphasized her commitment to female empowerment.
