Branan Murphy

Branan Murphy (born August 13, 1986) is a pop vocalist, rapper, songwriter and producer signed to Paravel Records / Dream Records.

Henry “Hank” Branan Murphy grew up in Louisville, GA, first listening to The Beach Boys as a kid and then writing songs and singing in church while in high school.

On April 21, 2017, Murphy released his first single on Sony, "All the Wrong Things."

Murphy says about the song, "…I write songs about what it’s like to be human – my own brand of ‘conscious pop’. We are all complex people. We have struggles. We have contradictions. We have deep desires. We are all seeking to be loved, understood and satisfied. My songs attempt to capture those deep emotional, even spiritual, yearnings we have as human beings. The bottom line is that I want to make great art, but most of all I want to be honest. I want to sing about what people are really going through…".

The song featured Grammy Award nominee Koryn Hawthorne.

On September 22nd, 2017 Murphy released his second single "Enough" with producer JordanSapp.
