Branan Murphy Q&A interview with Jubilee Cast.
Q: Branan, thanks for doing this interview with us. Let's start with yourself, tell us a little bit about how God called you to sing and write songs for him.
A. Thanks so much for having me! Like most singers would probably say, I've been singing my whole life. As a kid I was introduced to all kinds of music, and I quickly fell in love. When I was in high school, before I became a Christian, I made the decision that I was going to make music as my career, sing for a living. I actually remember telling my best friend at the time, and he laughed and said, "Uhhh bro, you gotta be like really good to do that." I would just like to take this moment to say, "Hi Anthony." Haha!
But seriously, God has been so gracious throughout my life. Jesus saved me at 17, just before my senior year of high school. So everything changed for me at a pivotal moment in my life. Shortly after that I had a profound experience in a worship service where I believe God told me I would make music for him the rest of my life. So I began leading worship, and I still lead worship to this day (it's a huge passion of mine). I wrote and recorded my own songs, and traveled all throughout college, primarily leading worship. After college, I began to explore making pop music, because I realized it's really where my musical influences and tendencies flow most naturally. So that journey has been challenging and fun. I like all kinds of music. It's hard for me to decide what to write sometimes haha because I love it all. But whatever I do, I want to please God and connect people to Jesus.
