But gospel music wasn’t always front and center for Murphy, who serves as the Bishop of Worship, for the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship, whose Presiding Bishop is, Bishop Joseph Warren Walker, III. Despite growing up in Detroit listening to the Winans, Commissioned, and the Voices of Tabernacle (his maternal grandmother was a member), Murphy admitted, “I didn’t want to sing gospel music at first. I wanted to be the next Luther Vandross. But I began to understand that this was something God had anointed and called me to do.”
