About Me
Professional Broadcaster, Disc Jockey and Master of Ceremonies. I have won awards for my M.C./D.J work at Tattoo Conventions, Best Of Baltimore awards for radio and nite club work, voted number one on-air talent for Baltimore Radio by America's Best while at 98 Rock in Baltimore. So far only DJ/MC mentioned and pictured in Tattoo Magazine as well as Savage, Prick, Tattoo Society, and Skin and Ink.Known as a wild man when it comes to my style but have also been able to tone it down to work with children at schools; blue humor or not most seem to have a good time at any event I play. I enjoy and often do various charity work when time permits. As far as Expo's go, any promoter I have worked for would recommend me to any other promoter out there.SOME AWARDS AND PRESS:Skin and Ink:Carl "Dr. Blasphemy" Murray – "DJ of the Tattoo Stars" – deejayed all weekend.

Carl MurrayThis year, Baltimore celebrated a dubious milestone: According to a study by the Texas Transportation Institute, it was the 17th worst city in the nation for traffic congestion, which meant this was the Land of Pleasant Living’s 22nd consecutive year in the top 20. Our highways are more jammed. Our mass transit is further away from meeting our needs than ever. Our commutes, in a word, blow.
While most traffic reports give us details of accidents and backups, they don’t speak to us on a level that shows that the person conveying the info, sequestered comfortably in some kind of “traffic room†someplace or floating above the menagerie in a helicopter, understands what we’re going though. Carl Murray, at least up through mid-2005, was a true commuter’s traffic reporter. Sure, he’d tell you about the accidents and the excessive congestion spots, but he also spoke to us. Murray reported traffic with a mix of apocalyptic prophecy and schaedenfreude. Day after day, during the morning drive time, he’d relate to us what a horrible mess the Baltimore Beltway and all its tributaries are.
Then something happened. He disappeared from the air for a couple weeks, and when he came back he seemed calmer. Maybe he received a “talking to,†maybe he got a helicopter, or maybe he’s been locked away in a booth. He’s not quite the same, but regardless this award goes to Carl Murray of the first half of 2005. You spoke to us like you understood the horrors of our morning drive time, and that made it, if only for a few fleeting minutes, a little more bearable.
