About Kevin Murray

Hi, I’m Kevin and I work in the music industry. I manage a lot of technology projects on all types of budgets with typically insane deadlines. I effectively communicate digital concepts to the non-digital. I see the real world potential in emerging technologies. I contribute creative, usable ideas in short time frames. I take care of and try to inspire my team and I’m pretty sure they’d go to war for me. From the smallest indie artist to the biggest superstar, my goals remain the same. I look beyond the fiscal or technological limits of a project and try to deliver the best user experience possible. I am well versed in navigating corporate IT policies and adhering to extremely strict legal and security standards. Despite all of that, I still seem to have good people skills and an absurd amount of passion for doing all of this after 30+ years. I also make a mean fish taco. All of the above is readily verifiable through the people who have employed and/or worked with me below, except for the fish taco. You\'d have to come to my 4th of July party to verify that.
