"I was reminded of the widely literate playfulness of Arthur, the Kinks album,
and also the nontraditional rhythms and changes in Syd-era Floyd."

Bob Strouch, WCBN DJ and local musician

Laurence Miller   Tony Archer   Katsumi Nagae   Melinda Ingalls



MY BIOGRAPHY was formed in late 2007. Laurence worked with Tony before during 1995 in their band GORDON GIGANTIC. 
Melinda answered his ad for keyboardist, and Katsumi was already a close friend whom he'd worked with
in film as well as their 
quirky alt-folk duo, MILLER & KATSUMI.  
 
Laurence rediscovered the joys of a 'live' band as his quirky punk pop songwriting 
took on a far livelier tone with other musicians
playing in real time as opposed to his relatively polished solo recordings produced on his own. 2008 saw the band playing
out , record
ing a 4-song demo, and shooting a "live" community television music video. In 2009 they struggled
producing their 
1st CD under less than desirable conditions  with just a few rough takes in the can.
By winter 2010, 
MY BIOGRAPHY evaporated off the map.

BREAKING NEWS
Their long over due CD Collection 
"My Biography Is Yours"
on FarFetched Records was finally released in 2023.
