Brittany Murphy has always been a musician

Brittany Murphy is quite the musician on the sly, so insists that people shouldn’t be too surprised by her decision to realise an album. She recently confessed: “I’ve been singing anonymously my whole life… I’ve sung the hooks on a lot of rap and R&B songs - I just never took the credit.” “Music has been a part of my soul since I was born. It’s something that I’ve always done, but I’ve done it very quietly. Now I guess this is the beginning of doing it not so quietly.” And she’s not just a singer: “I can play any instrument - just give me 20 minutes. I can play a little bit of everything by ear. The only thing I actually stuck to for a while was the trumpet.” [Fametastic]
