Biography
Originally from Okinawa, Japan, Caroline Lufkin moved
around a lot by the time she had graduated from the Berklee School of Music in Boston in 2003. After graduating,
Caroline moved to Tokyo and began working on an album. Before
signing with her current label, she had been working on an album in
the Japanese music industry where they were grooming her to be a
Japanese pop singer. However, she eventually quit due to their
difference in views on her music stating that "they kept on telling
me to change things and I didn't want to change them... They were
trying to make the music super-pop, and I couldn't quite deal with
it." [2

Caroline would then begin her search for "cool indie labels".
While at Tower Records in Japan one day, she saw a display for the
label, Temporary Residence
Limited, in the store and was amazed by the artists and
artwork. She kept the label in mind while continuing her research.
Where's My Love?, Caroline's
first song, was available to listen on her MySpace page in late
2004. Eventually she decided to send TRL an
e-mail, asking if she could send in a demo, and signed it with her
name and a link to her MySpace page. A few days later, after
checking out Caroline's website, Jeremy deVine, founder and
co-operator of the label, wanted to sign her to the label.[2

Where's My Love? was officially
released as a single on October 25, 2005 but was also distributed
during the previous month. On March 6, 2006, Caroline released her
debut album, Murmurs, and
soon after held her first live show at the South by
Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas on March 17 at the Whisky
Bar.[3
