From Northern Ireland, Richard Murray creates "Folky Pop and Country with a hint of Celtic," reflecting influences like Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, and Steve Earle.

Richard has a BA Honors Degree in Popular Music and a Masters in Popular Culture--focusing on film soundtrack music.

He has released 5 original solo albums, and tours the world with a popular theatre stage show.

About being a Songlorious artist, Richard says, "I enjoy the challenge of writing to a specific brief. Including everyday details and blending them with the gifter's emotional message in a poetic way is something I can really get my teeth into. I find it very rewarding that the piece means a lot to someone."
