Recorded in Victoria City, BC, Murray performed a stirring rendition of "SRH" that perfectly showcases her incredibly gorgeous vocals. "SRH" is nothing like your run-of-the-mill soul-pop fare. The song's production includes a bit of a crunchy twist with glistening synths and vinyl scratches that add a nique flavor and vibe to the overall creation. - Arjan Writes

A Victoria singer discovered at a remote B.C. luxury resort has made the leap to Hollywood and New York.
This week, Georgia Murray flew to Los Angeles to shoot a scene for the TV show Boston Legal. Next month, she travels to Madison Square Garden, where she'll sing opening anthems for New York Knicks and New York Rangers games.
And on Saturday, the 21-year-old graduate of Victoria's Canadian College of the Performing Arts will perform the Canadian anthem at a Victoria Salmon Kings game at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre.
Murray was discovered by Boston Legal's creator David E. Kelley in April when the show filmed an episode at the Nimmo Bay luxury resort, 300 kilometres north of Vancouver. The Boston Legal team was impressed with her singing at the resort, owned by her father.
That performance coincided with her 21st birthday, so the TV crew presented her with $700 US, a signed script and other souvenirs. Murray thought little more of it until a month ago, when Boston Legal's casting agent left a message on her cellphone.
The offer to be part of a top-rated TV show was a belated birthday present she'll never forget.
"I was totally -- I mean, I was blown away," she said from Los Angeles.
The aspiring singer-songwriter plays a nightclub vocalist in a scene with Candice Bergen and Rene Auberjonois, singing three songs, including the Ricky Skaggs hit Thanks Again. The episode, titled Live Big, features a guest appearance by Tom Selleck, and is slated to air on ABC Feb. 21, during sweeps week.
A courtroom drama starring William Shatner -- who's won an Emmy for his work on the series -- Boston Legal draws more than 11 million viewers weekly.
Murray said she was extremely nervous before heading to Los Angeles. "I thought, 'Gosh, I can't live up to this.' But when I got there I felt, 'I can really do this.' I fit in and I was totally vibing with everybody and I felt confident."
She scored the gigs singing anthems in New York after an executive of the National Basketball Association Knicks and the National Hockey League Rangers visited the Nimmo Bay resort. Her father, Craig Murray, presented him with a copy of his daughter's three-song CD. Murray will sing the American anthem for a Feb. 7 Knicks game, and both the American and Canadian anthems for a Rangers game on Feb. 8 against the Ottawa Senators.
The young vocalist didn't know the American anthem, but boned up on it over two days.
"When I found out, I was totally ecstatic and trying to learn it as quickly as I could," she said. "It's not an easy song. It covers my entire range -- it goes really low and really high."
The Nimmo Bay luxury resort is a high-end locale frequented by the rich and famous. Its heli-fishing and heli-adventure tours have attracted Michelle Pfeiffer, Richard Branson, Jimmy Pattison and George Bush Sr. A four-day stay costs almost $8,000 per person.
"I don't want people to think I was just handed this because these [Boston Legal] people came to my dad's resort," said Murray. "The opportunity was presented because they came and visited, but I got here because I'm capable."
The singer attended Brentwood College School before completing a two-year course at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in 2004. Murray has performed in Victoria nightclubs such as Lucky Bar and Sugar, and collaborated with local talents including DJ Murge and Ishkan. In March, she plans to independently release an EP of hip-hop-inflected folk music.
While she views herself as primarily a singer-songwriter, Murray is open to acting on the side should the opportunity arise.
"I would love to be a part of whatever I can be, really."
