William Murphy Live in Concert with the Avalanche at the Common Wealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Nigeria

Praise and Worship experience at its Peak as The Common Wealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) Hosts Sensational singer and Preacher, Pastor William Murphy all the way from the United State of America. COZA has hosted quite a number of International Guest Preachers and Artists from Don Moen to Mike Murdock, Myles Monroe and a whole lot of others.

Most gospel music fans know the smash hit “Praise Is What I Do”—the title track from Shekinah Glory Ministries’ 2002 gold-selling album—much better than they do the name of its writer, William Murphy. But that is about to change, and in bold and dramatic fashion.

With the release of William’s own label debut album, The Sound, the world can now hear the amazing voice and deeply moving songs of a young man who already is one of the brightest lights in the firmament of contemporary praise & worship music.

Possessing a voice that is nothing short of stunning, in range and dynamics, and with seasoned hit-makers flare for instantly accessible, engaging and unforgettable words and music, William makes music that crosses all lines of age, creed and color. William Murphy makes for the masses, and The Sound is the calling card introducing one of the most formidable talents in contemporary music.


Recorded live before a vocally enthused and inspired audience, The Sound runs a gamut of musical influences from modern gospel, urban, R&B, rock and pop, all drawn together into a brilliant and original combination that defies easy, preexisting categories. Don’t bother with labels. Just call it William Murphy, and be prepared to be amazed.

The title track “The Sound,” the album’s first single and video, showcases William and his band and vocal ensemble soar above it all, giving new life and high-octane energy to the venerable standard.

William was given a solid foundation in both the church and its music, as his father and grandfather were musically gifted, and the elder a Baptist minister and his son a minister and bishop. Both men, still active in the ministry and in strong voice, join William on The Sound.

“Church is what I’ve known all my life,” he says. “My family is rich in the heritage of the Gospel, in spoken-word ministry as well as music. That was the foundation I grew up on.”
