About Me

For the last couple decades, the R&B and Pop music scenes have evolved tremendously. From R&B artists with a rugged and edgy sound to pop artists who incorporate hip hop into their music. However, today it seems most artists produce the same catchy tunes and hooks, with their only intention of selling records. Fortunately, there still exists a breed of artists who not only can produce an infectious tune, but are committed to preserving the integrity and the true art of singing. P. Murray belongs to that breed.P. Murray’s voice can be described as precise, clear, soft and rich, yet powerful, which produces an overall smooth sound. It is obvious Murray draws his inspiration from nearly every genre of music, including rock, pop, R&B, classical, and hip hop.“I want to be that guy that listeners can turn on and always know they're getting something refreshing and beautifully sung…I want my music to uplift & inspire, as well as provoke thought and create a good time for people,” Murray emphatically states.Though this is the first time Murray has promoted himself as a solo artist, his reservations are few and far between.“I'm extremely excited to see where my talent takes me. People have been telling me for years to go solo and take it as far as I can, so I'm finally indulging them...and myself. I feel that now is the most opportune time to really see if I can make a splash in the industry."--Vicky Adegbola Edited by PMG
"I gotta get back to the music, cause that's where my life & paper is..."
--P. Murray/TonRoc, 2007
