Singer & Songwriter
Stuart is the lead singer and songwriter for the band, and he is also a composer, writer, filmmaker, and father. Some of his songs and his films reflect the struggles he has faced with ME / CFS when he became too ill to work or study for seven years.
These songs and his films appeal to a broad audience, as Stuart explains in this video, and demonstrate the compassion and hope he has for the millions of patients desperately wanting a cure so they can once again, begin their lives.
UPDATE: OMF Ambassador Stuart Murdoch appears on CNN Turning Points.
