Murph Caicedo 

Drums 

Murph Caicedo started his musical journey in his backyard in a shed. This was the place where his vision of becoming a real drummer first took hold. 

At 17 years of age, Murph began to play in his first “professional” band, Probable Cauz. The seed was planted and turning back was no longer an option. Since then, Murph has played in countless bands (as many as 8 at one time!). That could seem crazy to most of us, but when you are Murph Caicedo and there’s no doubt that drumming is why you are here on this earth, it’s easy. 

Murph has toured with and played on many records for artists that run the gamut. He’s recorded with many of his own bands, but also with every other style of musical artist there is. He’s played the blues with Mr. Sipp and Grady Champion, soul with Liz Stroud, pop with Brian Fuente, punk rock with the Tuff Luvs, Americana with Jason Turner Band and Bloodbird Harrington, metal with Redneck Trucker and A Bullet Well Spent, and at least 40 other recording projects too numerable to list. 

Murph has been a session drummer and Assistant Engineer at the world renowned Malaco Records located in Jackson, MS. He has also been the Musical Director for Skate MS, a non-profit in his hometown of Jackson MS that promotes healthy lifestyles for young people through skating. Murph has done time at Belhaven University, on their faculty, as a percussionist/accompanist for their very well respected dance department. Murph has also been a judge at Guitar Center’s annual “Drum-off” competition on multiple occasions. 

Murph is currently endorsed by Soultone Cymbals (a company that “gets it”). He plays the following Soultone products: 15” Extreme Hi-Hats, (2) 22” Extreme Crash, (1) 20” Extreme Crash & (1) 22” Extreme Ride Cymbal.

Karsten Hilton 

Guitar 

Karsten Hilton was born in Böblingen, West Germany and came to the states when he was a year old. 

His parents and grandparents influenced his musical taste from classical music, big bands, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and pretty much everything from the 1920’s through the 1980’s. Until, Karsten discovered rock and heavy metal in the mid 1980’s. There, the lone journey began. 

Karsten’s musical endeavor began at 9 years old when he began learning Violin and acoustic guitar. After a brief 8 year hiatus from learning music, Karsten picked up guitar again and never looked back. 

The musical path Karsten has taken has lead him to learn much and his love of music  has allowed him to play in many bands in different capacities. Karsten’s main instrument has been guitar, but he has played bass, drums, and sang vocals in a few bands. He also dabbles and doodles around on piano for fun. 

Just a few bands Karsten has been in and recorded with before joining Storage 24.
