Details:
Born and raised in New York City, Elkay, as his friends call him, grew up playing cello, drums, a little piano and even some trumpet. Submerged in the lower eastside music scene at a young age Murphy picked up the guitar and started writing songs at thirteen. Like a bluesman waltzing to mozart Murphy''s songs are hypnotic and rough, both intimate and candid. Born from a mouth of sharpened teeth and delivered with lilting precision his lyrics draw from poetry and pop alike.
There is a tension in his music. The tension that rises from singing the unspoken. Like the blues, Murphy''s songs are triumphant even in their melancholy. His music bears this out, carrying a subtle joy even as his songs hint at death itself.
