Murray James is a local Musician and SydneySider , in 2018 he joined me on the show, just before the release of his first Album ‘Lonely Astronaut ‘ We spoke about his music from early age. He spent time producing some Demo’s he recorded ‘ Not Myself ‘ and ‘All I’ve got to give’ which he wrote and he also does a version of London Grammar ‘ Hay Now’ ( Songs on the Podcast thanks to Murray ) 

Murray is a singer/songwriter who has been performing in a number of bands and as a solo artist for the last 15 years. He is newly based in London, UK for 2019. He has a Bachelor of Music and a Bachelor of Education and has been working as a high school music teacher by day and gigging by night. Drawing from his time studying the classical guitar at university, Murray combines classical fingerpicking with contemporary techniques to create intricate guitar parts to accompany his warm and unique voice. In December of 2018, Murray released his debut album, ‘Lonely Astronaut’. It is a musical melting pot combining his inspirations, thoughts, emotions and stories from throughout his life. 

When it comes to covers, Murray has the ability to put his own entertaining spin on any crowd favourite whilst staying true to the original feel of the song. His original tunes are in the realm of other singer/songwriters Ed Sheehan and John Mayer though his influences span across a wide spectrum, including Johnny Cash, Radiohead and Jimi Hendrix to name a few. Murray has frequently performed at venues and weddings throughout Sydney, Australia and has the ability to read and engage his audiences in any situation, from providing vibing background music to getting the party started on the dance floor
