He studied at Bronx Community College and had toured Europe, South America and Canada with George McCrae as well as touring and performing with the Broadway plays Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope and Your Arms Too Short to Box with God , prior to his work with Bowie.
As of 2017 Murray works at a school district in California where he lives with his wife, Teresa Woo-Murray, and son, Marcus.
In 2025 Carlos Alomar put together a new touring band. This band consisted of Alomar, George Murray, Kevin Armstrong, Tal Bergman, Michael Cunio, Lea Lórien and Alex Tosca. The aim was to honour David Bowie and Dennis Davis. The D.A.M. trilogy B2B (Back to Berlin) played "only the fast tracks" from Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy" (Low, Heroes & Lodger) as well as encores from Station To Station & Scary Monsters (and super creeps), starting a European tour in Berlin's Metropol on Friday 7th November 2025.
