Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. burst onto the national conscience as the Sinatra-and-Soul singing and winner of season six of the NBC-TV hit show America’s Got Talent. He impressed the judges with his incredible voice, undeniable charisma, and unparalleled showmanship. A decade later, he is still going strong.
Experiencing Landau in concert is a revelation. Backed by the dynamic Landau Big Band, he performs swinging arrangements of Great American Songbook classics, along with a taste of Motown Magic. After the show, Landau aims to please by meeting the audience for one-on-one photos and speaking with them about his incredible rags-to-riches career.
Landau’s Columbia Records debut album That’s Life reached number one on the Billboard Jazz Charts. He followed this with his album, Christmas Made For Two, Landau, and his latest Landau Live In Las Vegas recorded live at the legendary Caesar’s Palace. Landau’s TV appearances have included The Today Show, The View, CNN, Fox and Friends, The Talk, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
He has performed worldwide from China to New York City and from Los Angeles to Europe, where he had the honor of performing for the U.S. military and their families stationed there.
Landau has raised millions of dollars for charities. His home state of West Virginia has been the recipient of his kindness, serving on the Board of Directors for the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia. His generosity has resulted in him being recognized as the West Virginian of the Year by the Governor’s office and the state’s largest newspaper.
Landau’s autobiography, From Washing Cars to Hollywood Stars, reached #1 on Amazon. His concert DVD Live in Washington DC at Bethesda Blues and Jazz was a best-seller, and he had his first movie cameo in 2017 in the Ron James biopic Choices.
In 2021, Landau released LANDAU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS, a pre-pandemic recording at Caesar’s Palace that includes several never-before-released tracks. His unique take on the Great American Songbook and classic R&B are fan favorites. This album reached new audiences with guest background vocals by former Temptations and the Four Tops lead singer Theo Peoples!
After a decade of non-stop activity, Landau remains humble about his success. He especially appreciates the opportunity to meet his fans face-to-face during post-show meet-n-greets. “I identify with those people who stick around to talk with me. These are down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth folks who work hard, take care of their families and give back to their communities. They’re what the best of America is all about. I wouldn’t be here without them.”
