BIOGRAPHY
Steven Murphy spent his formative years in Sydney’s Redfern. Abandoned by his mother when only weeks old and left in the care of a cruel, alcoholic stepmother while his father served time in jail, his early life was marked by hardship and survival.
Against all odds, the child they called “Pyjama Boy” fought his way through adversity to achieve his lifelong goal. His story is one of courage, persistence, and hope, proof that resilience can triumph over even the harshest beginnings.
Over time, Steven discovered that by sharing his journey, imperfections and all, he could offer something meaningful to others. Speaking at schools and events across Australia has become one of his greatest privileges. Through candid storytelling, photos, and lived experiences, he connects with audiences on a deeply human level, not to impress, but to inspire.
“My hope,” he says, “is that by being honest about my experiences, others might find encouragement or even a little clarity for their own paths.”
