- Longtime manager of Australian band INXS, from 1979 until 1995 and again in the 2000s.
- In 2001 he launched Petrol Electric Records.
- Managed the group Models during the 1980s.
- Before he passed away he was developing a retirement community for musicians and music industry professionals in New South Wales, Australia.
- Worked at his father's theatrical booking agency Mark Murphy & Associates since he was a teenager.
- I vowed never to get into management until I met 6 young men with big smiles and a huge amount of talent...INXS.
- INXS's music is time less, along with the fact that many young people are discovering the music is good today as it was years ago. They are also discovering a very unique rock star, something that they don't see these days. They are realizing that there is only and will only ever be one Michael Hutchence. Looking back at music videos and live performances they are discovering rare talent and that is helping drive this new wave.
- The night Morris offered them to me, I told him I'd take them midway through their third song. I stood there thinking, "This is pretty funky'. This kid up front is pretty weird. This band plays really, really well ... What Morris didn't realize was that I only intended to take them on as their booking agent. I didn't want to be their manager.
