About

Originally from Seattle Washington James F Wright is a singer/songwriter with a distinctively original voice. James is a gifted musician with a unique ability to express life and its emotions through music. “I believe a song that tells a story stays with you, it resonates as you imprint your own life experiences,” he says. James explains that the right song will give you vision and hope. “I build songs around experiences and people who have shaped my life. I’ve learned to never give up, despite what sometimes appears to be a hopeless situation.”

A seasoned performer, James' earliest professional performances came in 1980 in San Francisco at downtown hotels and restaurants on the Avenues. The early ’90s brought trips to Nashville with what he now refers to as his Nashville sessions (Producer Terry Choate) and a 25-year membership in the Nashville Chapter of NARAS. (National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences/The Grammy’s). In 1995, Jerry Earl Johnston of The Deseret News referred to James as “The Voice.”

James has recorded 7 studio albums and continues to record and perform in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
