Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. will always be a champion of jazz music.
He debuted his album “That Life” the following year.
Before getting into the talent show competition, Murphy had a lot of jobs, reportsThe Baltimore Sun.
Murphy was completely homeless and living in his car.
Then, when AGT had their yearly auditions, he was wearing the only clothes he owned.
“I was at the end of my rope …
I literally had nothing to lose,” he said toWest Virginia News.
Now a champion superstar, no one has any clue what Murphy is up to these days.
Sure, he performed at concerts, but AGT fans want to know more of the 40-year-old singer.
Here’s what we know.
The AGT season 6 winner dropped out of school three decades ago in the 11th grade.
He decided to go back to school online this spring and summer to earn his diploma.
“I wasn’t going to give up.
I’d waited way too long and come too far.
I wanted this diploma as much as I wanted to turn my life around by going on AGT.
Murphy also helped raise millions of dollars for children’s charities in his home state of West Virginia.
