Jim Murphy

Bio:

..


...... .. .. Growing up in Southern Arkansas, it would have been difficult for someone to predict a string of top 10 hits from Jim Murphy. Jim likes to think that's the only way God works. Through people who know it wasn't by their strength or abilities, but His.

Jim's second album release has been met with critical acclaim musically, and obvious annointing spiritually. The Inspirational meets AC album mixes sounds of Chris Rice, MercyMe, and Chris Tomlin to create a well received sound all his own.

Reinventing the beloved Twila Paris hit "How Beautiful" with a fanfare of guitar, strings, and energy, in late 2007 helped propel Jim into the top 10 before releasing the stirring Inspirational Hit "Start All Over" in January of 2008. Start All Over, a song based on the poem by Dr. Woodrow Kroll of Back to the Bible brought huge and instant attention to Jim's ministry and his new album as well. Following the success of “Start All Over” came the release of “Everything Changes” the title track of the album and a song penned by Jim. “Everything Changes” crept its way up the charts into the top 15 earlier this fall.

Jim was called into the ministry in a very unlikely way. Members of the Southern Gospel mega group The Martins, talked Jim into recording a small "starter project" that jokingly Murphy likes to pretend never existed. But what The Martins saw initially, has progressed and developed into an emerging force in Christian Music. Backed by Mission House Music, a quickly expanding label, Murphy has seen a lot of positive press and publicity.

Most recently, Jim has been on tour taking him thousands of Miles from Florida to New Mexico as well as three separate radio tours promoting his new album. 2009 promises to be another exciting year as he embarks on yet another long tour that will take him all over the country sharing his ministry. Jim admits, "When God blesses you with unexplainable success, it isn't right to stand still and just let it happen. You must take the tools He gives you, and actively help to advance his Kingdom. So the busy schedule is fine with me."

Jim is a proud husband and a father to three beautiful children who are already beginning to show signs of musicality. Something that Jim jokingly admits is only scary at best. The family man is quick to give all the Glory to the Lord, and all the credit to his wife, Beth.

Jims' Music has been featured on Various Popular Radio Networks such as "American Family Radio", "Moody Broadcasting", "UCB Europe", "Pilgrim Radio Network", "Back to the Bible", as well as Hundreds of other stations here in the U.S. and Abroad. Through Gods Grace alone, Jim's music has been far reaching. Touching the lives of Millions of individuals and reaching virtually every corner of the globe.

"My Prayer is that People will see Gods love and plan of salvation through my Music." To say I am humbled that He has placed His trust in me to bring others to Salvation is a complete understatement. It is an absolute awesome responsibility that I take with great Pride and one that drives me as an artist."
