Hello, My name is James Murray. I've lived in Watsonville, California all my life. My passions include music, surfing, skateboarding(mostly just cruzer style these days) the rain and above all God. I am living in San Jose right now studying business @ SJSU... I've recently decided to minor in music as well, most likey jazz piano and/or voice. I love Music. My father is a well established piano technician as well as an accomplished piano player. Much of my influence on the keys stems from my papa, he's the man. Singing is something I have always done. Although, up until recently i didn't exactly share my ambition with anyone. I love to make music and if i'm lucky, maybe someday i'll be able to make money doing it.
James Murray .. :o) Just coming thru to show luv. Keep your head up and keep doing your thang aight? Believe in you and all else will fall into place. Holla back anytime.
P.s. You gotta admit, that recording is pretty funny. It sounds better cause we started laughing :) it's like, a candid picture... but in recording form lol
Whatever you! You picked a song I didn't know! Lol Although, it's really not that hard to sing, I'm just.. special :) haha I knew you were singing with yourself! I'm so smart. "Guava Jelly" next time? I think so... Just cause I wanna hear you sing "Come rub up on my belly like guava jelly" :)
Who was singing with you on "Sunny"? Or were you harmonizing with yourself... I like it! We need to record something else together sometime, ya? And maybe I won't mess it up next time lol

So I'll get to help plan campus events, get priority registration, and a faculty parking pass =) schweet!!! lol but yeah...i miss you!!!!!
