Mason Murphy

Utah’s Mason Murphy is an uncommonly-gifted singer/songwriter with a smooth and melodic soft pop sound that’s rapidly attracting new fans from around the world. His songs have received over 500,000 streams in the last couple of years, an impressive achievement for someone who once considered himself a “bedroom guitar player.” Murphy makes beautiful, cinematic pop with an emotive nighttime vibe that’s both classic and current. His arrangements are quietly sophisticated and support his subtle vocal tones perfectly. His latest single, “Fix Myself,” drops September 27th, 2019 and will pick up where his eight previous releases left off. A strong response is expected, as Murphy’s last track, “Save Me (Acoustic),” was added to Spotify’s own Mellow Pop playlist and has surpassed 150,000 streams to date.

Based in Salt Lake City, Murphy picked up the guitar at age ten and never put it down. Initially inspired by the game Guitar Hero, Murphy spent his time becoming an actual guitarist with a passion for songwriting. He even walked away from a promising college career playing golf to focus on music full-time. He released his first song, “City Girl,” on SoundCloud in 2016, a strong debut that received 150,000 plays on the platform. Since then, Murphy has been honing his skills, playing live, and putting his music out online. He also works well with others and has collaborated with Minnesota artist Drew Wilken on his single “Beautiful,” co-written with Utah-based artist Adam Turley, and worked with artist and producer Seven Aurelius (Kanye West, Jennifer Lopez, Tupac) on his track “Total Recall.”

Fans of brilliantly-phrased pop songs that compare well to John Mayer, Justin Bieber, and Charlie Puth will find a lot to like about Mason Murphy. His love for the musical process is evident in all he does, as is his goal of writing relatable lyrics his fans can appreciate. “At the end of the day, we’re all on this Earth together,” he says, “and it’s always a good feeling to know that you’re not the only one battling the situation you’re in. We all experience the same highs and lows at some point or another.” Mason Murphy is well on his way to a breakthrough.
