Murray Cook (born June 30, 1960) is an Australian guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter for The Wiggles. His father, Russell Cook, was an assistant commissioner in the NSW Police Service, and his sister Fiona is a police officer.
Cook grew up in the central west of New South Wales, at Cowra, later moving to Orange. After his father was posted to Sydney, the family settled in the city's southern suburbs, where Cook finished his secondary schooling. After a brief stint at university, Cook worked for several years during the 1980s as a clerk with the Australian Taxation Office, while playing in a Sydney rock band called Finger Guns.
After enrolling in Early Childhood Studies at Macquarie University in the late 1980s, Cook teamed up with two fellow students: Anthony Field, and Greg Page. Cook and Field soon found that they shared common interests, since Field had been a member of popular Sydney 1980s rock band The Cockroaches. With the addition of Field's Cockroaches bandmate Jeff Fatt, they named their new group The Wiggles. Murray is the Wiggles member who wears a red shirt.
