Growing
up in Southern Arkansas, it would have been difficult
for someone to predict a top 10 hit from Jim Murphy.
Nor a rapidly climbing
follow-up single. 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, helped propel Jim into the top 10 before
releasing his next single "Start All Over".
Start All Over, a song based on the poem by Dr. Woodrow
Kroll of Back to the Bible has brought
huge attention to Jim's ministry and latest single. Dr. Kroll and Back to the
Bible reaches half of the world's population and have actively
promoted the song upon hearing it.
Jim
was called into the ministry in a very unlikely way.
Members of the Southern Gospel megagroup The Martins,
talked Jim into recording a
small "starter project" that 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 three separate radio tours
promoting
his new album "Everything Changes".
He is embarking on yet another
amidst his touring schedule that is taking him all
over the country. 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.
Through
Gods Grace alone, Jim's music has been far reaching.
Touching the lives of countless individuals
and reaching virtually every corner of the globe.
Jims' Music has been featured on Numerous 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. "My Prayer is that People will see
God's
love and plan of salvation through my Music." To
say I am humbled that God 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."
