Sounds Like My Life is a documentary about a time, a city,
and a sound born from San Francisco’s underground in the late 80's and 90's. It captures a hip-hop scene built on pure craft and the restless hunger to create something unique, honest, and timeless — a sound heavy with soul, stitched from rare grooves and lived experience — before the internet before cannabis clubs, before the city was reshaped by time. Through the story of Bored Stiff, it traces the lives of young artists who found family through music, traveled the world on the strength of their art, and held onto their dreams in a landscape as beautiful as it was unforgiving. It’s a story of creation, loss, resilience, and the lasting sound of a scene that refused to be forgotten.
