Hey there, music fans! My Life Story is a British pop outfit that burst onto the scene in the early '90s, founded by the charismatic singer-songwriter Jake Shillingford. Hailing from London, they became known for their lush, orchestral sound that blended Britpop vibes with witty lyrics and dramatic flair, scoring hits like "12 Reasons Why I Love Her" and "Sparkle." Their debut album, Mornington Crescent (1995), and follow-up The Golden Mile (1997) captured the essence of the era, earning them a dedicated following before they called it quits in 2000.
Fast forward to 2013, and the band reformed, delighting old fans and winning over new ones with fresh releases like the album Joined Up Talking (originally from 2000, but reissued with love) and more recent gems such as World Citizen (2019). With Shillingford at the helm, they've kept evolving, dropping tracks like "Loving You is Killing Me" and "Running Out Of Heartbeats" that mix their signature grandeur with modern twists. If you're into epic, feel-good pop with a storytelling edge, My Life Story is your jam!
