Ryan Peter Murphy grew up in a quiet Connecticut town, where music found him before he knew to look for it. His grandmother loves to tell the story of young Ryan making his toy dinosaurs serenade each other.

Now a student at Berklee College of Music, he’s a singer-songwriter with the soul of a modern crooner, his sound wrapped in the nostalgic charm of the 1950s.

Specializing in emotive ballads, drawing inspiration from the rat pack legends, he has gained significant attention through his viral TikTok series, “Singing Out the Window,” which has amassed 200 million views across platforms. His growing popularity led to a performance on The Jennifer Hudson Show and the honor of singing the national anthem for the Boston Celtics at TD Garden and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
