Liverpool born John Murphy began scoring movies at the age of 25. In 2001, following the success of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, he moved to Los Angeles.

Since then he has worked with some of the industry's most respected and luminary filmmakers, including Michael Mann, Danny Boyle, Guy Ritchie, Stephen Frears, and James Gunn, producing film scores as prominent and diverse as Sunshine, Kick-Ass, The Suicide Squad, and the seminal 28 Days Later.

After Kick-Ass Murphy set up the record label Taped Noise and began work on several non-movie projects. His latest film ‘The Suicide Squad’, with James Gunn for Warner Bros, will be released on August 6.

Starting in 1990 I had a ten year journey, with The Prodigy we went from raves to rock stadiums, touring with some of the best artists of a generation.Picking up new influences and inspiration throughout the experience.In 2000 i left the band to concentrate on Djing and my own productions, releasing an album under the name Flightcrank, before moving on to vocal duty on two albums for UK artist Hyper.
A move to Germany brought about a Smash Hifi Album in 2014.In 2018 I began to release music on Get Hype Records, it was back to the underground with no limitations just my music that makes people rock. 2020 I started releasing on music.leeroythornhill.com in order to put more music out. 
Thirty years and seventy five countries later music is still my drug, various different projects, many learning curves, and plenty of musical experimentation, having brought me to where i am today. Using the things that inspired me to create my own sound in the studio and to bring energy to the dance floor when DJing.
