Hailing from the lush landscapes of County Armagh, Northern Ireland, Odhran
Murphy’s music is steeped in the spirit of his homeland. With 25 years spent soaking
in the region’s natural beauty, rich culture, and tight-knit local music scene, his
artistry is a reflection of the place that raised him. Dosed in this local culture, his
infatuation with music sprung as early as Primary School.
A true multi-instrumentalist, Odhran’s journey began when his mother taught him
four chords on guitar. Fueled by the rise of artists like Ed Sheeran, he dove headfirst
into songwriting and performance, later picking up piano and banjo along the way –
all learned by ear, never by sheet music. His approach is instinctive, raw, and
emotionally driven. Music followed Odhran as a child during his primary school days,
nervously stepping on stage at spring concerts. While those early performances
might have been rough around the edges, they sparked a lifelong love of being in
front of an audience. Encouraged by a family steeped in live music, his parents and
grandfather gigging on weekends, Odhran often snuck into bars just to catch a
glimpse of them playing.
Sharing his own material, now, for just under 3 years, it was one track in particular
that sparked his vast trajectory. A year after his debut release, “Limitless Love” rose
through TikTok’s algorithm and quickly went viral. Now sitting at 7.5 million streams
on Spotify alone & with over 500k monthly listeners, Odhran Murphy has gained an
ever-growing fanbase who are eagerly awaiting for the release of his debut EP . Now
signed to 10K Projects, home to hit-makers Ice Spice, Trippie Redd, Aminé, Artemas
and many more, Odhran has crafted his own lane within Country-Folk that he
describes as “very uplifting, energetic, fun, and great for a road trip”. Hoping to bring
this happiness, encouragement, and love to his fan-base.
