Biography

Childhood and early life

Growing up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Murray initially began learning drums at the age of eleven, so he could form a band with his brother: "For the first two years of playing all I had was a snare drum with a mute on it. I learned a lot just on one drum. Until I had a full kit, I set up boxes in place of the missing drums and referenced setups I saw on MTV."[4]

Murray's early influences are Jimi Hendrix Experience's Mitch Mitchell, Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley, and The Smashing Pumpkins' Jimmy Chamberlin.[4]
