An artist’s story is usually told in pages or on a screen.

But what if they told it themselves — through the songs that made them?
Library Presents: Discography Autobiography flips the script. Instead of a traditional interview, we ask artists to soundtrack their own lives. The tracks that changed them. The moments that defined them.

From Hip-Hop legends and producers to cultural historians, each guest curates the music that shaped their journey — and reveals the stories behind every selection.

No narrator. No filter. Just the life… in songs.
