"It sounds crazy, doesn’t it?" Wright said. "While putting out an album every month is an awful idea if you try to release and promote records the old-fashioned way -- coordinating and organising retail distribution, publicity, and radio promotion behind something that lands everywhere all at once .. it certainly gives people something to talk about. I haven’t had to spend time or effort promoting the songs. I’ve spent all my time writing and recording, and the way I’ve structured the releases alone has made people notice. An album-a-month has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? That and the fact that I give away mp3s every month on myspace."
Wright is a singer/songwriter who first made his name at Peer-Southern Music publishing house, Denmark St, London, co-writing songs with Hollywood hitmaker, Kim Fowley. He released his debut 45 single "Strange Situation" in 1978 to critical acclaim in the UK press. The NME said, "Wright is an enigmatic purveyor of powerful pop." Wright’s 1980s band, International Heroes, is credited in the Encyclopaedia of British Heavy Metal as forerunner of the Powerpop movement. He co-managed the hugely-popular all-girl Swedish band, Ice Age, voted Best Female Group in the World 1989/1990 by Kerrang! magazine readers. He co-produced and directed their MTV video "Instant Justice" and co-ordinated their sell-out European tour, in which the band sold out London’s Marquee Club, The Hippodrome, and the Astoria.
In July 2007, he performed on stage with Najam Sheraz at the historic Pakistani Festival, Trafalgar Square, London. The festival celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Independence for Pakistan. As well as attracting a 12,000+ crowd, it was broadcast live to millions worldwide by GEO TV.
He’s also working on songwriting collaborations with musicians, producers, and songwriters around the world - including Aaron Patrick, Kamal Laroiya, Najam Sherez, Mark Tinley, and others.
He’s a three time British Fantasy Award finalist for excellence in fantasy/horror/sci-fi writing. His song lyrics explore the ups and downs of life, heartache and joy, and his own unique take on human relationships.
