Available to hire
Hi, I’m Muz (Murray) Knock, a versatile performer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve spent the last three decades on stage, screen, and in the studio, from musical theatre debuts at TAPAC to TVCs, films, voice overs, and international singing gigs in Abu Dhabi and China. I love making audiences feel something—whether I’m belting out a song, playing a character, or popping up in a promo video.
When I’m not on stage or in front of a camera, I teach and collaborate on creative projects, bring energy to live events, and enjoy exploring new musical and storytelling ideas with teams across NZ and overseas. I’m open to theatre, film, TV, voiceover, and live music opportunities.
