My Life As A Bird is the DIY project of Mike Keller. Keller grew up in the SF Bay Area and played his first show at his school’s junior high prom when he was 11 years old.
He played in punk bands throughout high school and college before joining Bay Area Mathcore band NAME. After recording and touring the country with NAME, Keller was hired to join hard-working Technical Death Metal powerhouse The Red Chord (Metal Blade Records) from Revere, MA. After packing a duffel bag and relocating to the east coast Keller toured the world opening for bands like Slipknot, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Cannibal Corpse.
When that ended, Keller focused on Meek is Murder- initially a solo project turned Brooklyn “whatevercore” staples, opening for bands like Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, and Periphery. They toured extensively across the US and Europe and released 3 full length records and 2 EPs.
Keller moved out of the big city and back to California in 2018 where he began living a quiet life with his family. He made occasional My Life As A Bird demos for years before deciding it was time to make a full length album. This proved difficult with a full time job and a 2 year old but he recorded in his converted garage in 30 minute increments every day while his son was in the bath. All instruments and vocals on “Sunflowers” were performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Keller in true DIY spirit.
