Teaches: Guitar, Bass, Piano, Drums, Songwriting, & Music Production

About Eoin

My name is Eoin Murphy, and I am a musician, producer, and songwriter based out of Philadelphia, PA. My musical journey began at a very young age, I began playing drums at age 3 and then shortly followed them up with piano and guitar. I attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia where I received a BFA in Guitar Performance with a minor in MBET (Music Business, Entrepreneurship, and Technology.) Since graduating UArts in 2018, I have enjoyed a flourishing career as a touring musician as well as producer for many artists across all genres.

I have toured extensively in the states and worked with numerous high profile artists, some of these artists include Philly hip hop legend Beanie Segal, Grammy nominated vocalist Avery Wilson, the legendary Harold Melvin Estate, and up and coming R&B artist N3WYRKLA. When not touring I can be found working on my own music or lending a hand in the projects of some of my fellow musicians/friends such as TreWay & The Now Generation, StarDestroyers, and Tuck Ryan. When it comes to teaching I truly believe that fun is the greatest motivator to learn a new instrument, and want to create an environment where the student is genuinely excited to learn and further their craft each week.
