Background[]

Born in Logan, West Virginia, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. is the grandson of the late Reverend Cecil Murphy, one of the Five Pioneers, who was instrumental in Landau's participation and growth in church and Sunday school activities. Landau has been entertaining family and friends since early childhood at local parties and school dances. Landau has always entertained, singing the songs of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations and many other amazing talents.

In 2003, Landau made a bet to his then girlfriend, Jennifer Carter, that he could win a talent show contest at a local arts and crafts fair. The response that Landau received was so amazing that they asked him to sing every year after that. From then on, Landau kept entertaining by performing in shows for local charities such as the We Can Program, the local Chamber of Commerce, Children's Home Society and local fairs. On November 25, 2005, Landau and Jennifer wed, as he continued to pursue his dream. He took a job washing cars at a car dealership in Chapmanville, West Virginia to support his family of four children, and still he continued to practice. By the end of 2010, Landau realized that he really enjoyed the entertainment world and knew he had to do something big and get his talent out to the world. [1]
