AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF SUGAR RAY, MURPHY KARGES KNOWS WHAT IT TAKES TO CONNECT WITH AN AUDIENCE

That's why after 25 years of touring and selling 10 million albums—

Murphy left the spotlight to help bass players discover their own authentic voice with playing bass and music.

YOU SEE, MURPHY STARTED OUT MUCH LIKE YOU

He picked up the bass at 15, teaching himself in dive bars and backyard BBQs long before Sugar Ray became a household name. No fancy music school. No traditional path. Just a kid with a dream and a bass guitar, figuring it out one gig at a time.

Fast forward through two decades of countless gigs, touring, prime-time TV, Hollywood films, and radio festivals. Five BMI Pop Awards. Songs he co-wrote on the radio constantly. But somewhere between the shows and the ups and downs, Murphy discovered something more important than any hit single:

The magic isn't in perfection—it's in connection.

Admit that you love my rad hair and puka-shell necklace

The methods Murphy teaches weren't born in a classroom—they were forged in the real world. From recording studios in LA to stages across the globe, 25+ years as a professional bassist gave him a deep understanding of what actually matters when you're making music that connects.

Now, he specializes in translating those pro-level insights for adult beginners and intermediate players who feel stuck or plateaued—helping them break through barriers and finally play with the confidence and groove they've been chasing.

Murphy has helped thousands of bass players through his YouTube channel (12,000 subscribers) and online programs—not by drowning them in theory or overthinking it—but by teaching them how to connect: with their instrument, with other musicians, and with people who listen to you play.

Life is full of possibilities.
