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

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 , recording 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.

* Their long over due CD My Biography Is Yours was finally released in 2023 on FarFetched Records.
