"You are your star player." EVERYBODY FROM THE TOWN STAND UP! It's the mid 80's in East Oakland, a young Murph is born as the city is still feeling the impact of the "crack era". His mother, a special education teacher, and gifted Gospel singer who wrote songs in her dreams. His father, a multi-business owning, self-made man, who holds down the definition of working hard. Murph lived in a juxtaposition - a kid from the East Oakland streets, and a private school student. But his true identity was hoops, and ball was life. Playing for some of the top teams in the country, Murphs basketball dreams were becoming a reality. With work ethic instilled by his father, he took on multiple jobs to make his own money, and build his own future. But it wasn't until a unexpected injury happened that Murph began to see the world differently, and dig deep into who he really was without basketball. After High School, he attended UC Santa Cruz, a place that would soon become a beautiful escape. As basketball was turning off, music was turning on, and Young Murph arrived. Music gave him a voice, a community, and a chance to dream again. This new found path would lead him to LA, a place where music was thriving, and you can either dive in and swim, or quickly drown. We often struggle to keep our heads above water, and sometimes all we need is the confidence to keep going. Taking the lessons he learned from his father, the support and encouragement from his mother, Murph kept fighting to live his dream. His sword got sharper, his mind got stronger, and his desire to succeed became unstoppable. Welcome to the journey of Young Murph The Kidd. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is YMTK. #MamaWeMadeIt
