Meet the curator-in-chief

Hi, I’m Samantha Lamph/Len. I started Memoir Mixtapes in the fall of 2017.

The idea came to me on the commute home to Koreatown from my copywriting job in Santa Monica, when a song I hadn’t heard in years came on the radio and took me back to a very specific time in my life.

I knew others would have similar stories, and I wanted to read them.The rest is Memoir Mixtapes.

We’ve been on hiatus for quite some time, but we’re excited to be back, and to hear from new friends and old.
