Rickey Wright
I am a musician (singer / songwriter) that has had many influences. As a young man I listened and was influenced by Journey, Kansas, Styx, Boston, Led Zepplin, Billy Joel, Elton John, The Eagles, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and many others. As I grew older and became more involved with my church, I gravitated toward contemporary Christian artists such as Wayne Watson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Michael English, Ray Boltz, Casting Crowns, Philips Craig & Dean, and others. Recently I have returned to my first love - Contemporary Christian Music. It is my prayer that God will open doors within this ministry and hopefully, in the future, I will be able to record and share some of the great music that God has given me.
In January of 2007 I had the priviledge of Recording my first EP of original songs with The Tyler Music Group in Nashville Tnn. This has been a wonderful experience to record and work with some of the best musicians in the world. I was also fortunate and blessed to have been associated with my producer, William Smith, that believed in my songs and took a chance on a new unsigned artist.
I am married to my beautiful wife, and we live in Anniston, AL. I have a daughter, Bethany that is the joy of my life. Bethany is a Graduate of Jacksonville State University, with a major in Elementary Education - She has recently taken a job at Alexandria Elementary School as a Third Grade Teacher - Bethany loves, children and will be a great teacher.
