NASHVILLE, TENN. (OCTOBER 04, 2024) Independent singer/songwriter Josh Wright has released a brand new poignant song, "The Fall," which will be going for adds at radio today. Listen to "The Fall" here.
Coming from a small town in Texas, Josh Wright's story is one filled with faith, music, and resilience. At the age of 17, he lost his father to cancer during his senior year of High School. He attended Belmont University on a scholarship with an esteemed four years filled with showcases and a semester abroad at King's College. His story continued with another tragedy losing his 16-year-old brother in a car accident when Wright's career was just beginning to take off. After spending several quiet years to heal and focus on life beyond music, it wasn't until recently that he felt God calling him back into music.
"About three years ago, I felt like I heard God whisper, ‘Josh, sing.’ So one small step at a time, I re-joined the worship team at my church, and I went through hundreds of unfinished song ideas about the broken pieces of my life and shaped them into a message of hope which is becoming my debut album," shares Josh Wright.
He continues, "This debut song is significant because it represents all that God has done in my life and it’s the first signal that something greater is in the works. Sometimes we just need someone on the other side of grief to tell us that joy does come in the morning. Knowing my life can help others believe in God’s best for their lives causes my joy today to resound louder than every long night and every tear cried.”
This song will be the flagship single for his debut album set to release in 2025. Wright's music has been streamed more than five million times. He currently leads worship both nationally and internationally, recently leading more than 400 missionaries in Cyprus off the coast of Israel. Stay tuned for more music from Josh Wright.
ABOUT JOSH WRIGHT: During his time at Belmont, Josh Wright was featured in seven showcases, the second most of any student from his alma mater. His first writer’s round was with Contemporary Christian music legend Steven Curtis Chapman when he debuted his hit song “Cinderella.” Josh was also selected for Wynona Judd’s ‘Artist in Residency’ mentorship class, sang for the Governor’s prayer breakfast, and sang for the 35th-anniversary celebration for Tokyo Disney. He performed on Grammy and Dove award-winning records. He represented up-and-coming Christian songwriters when the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame opened on Music Row with Dolly Parton as the keynote speaker—other pinnacle moments included sharing the stage with Amy Grant, Trisha Yearwood, and CeCe Winans and singing The National Anthem for the Vice President of the United States at a televised event. Wright was also part of a week-long Bible study in a living room that has now turned into a thriving, multicultural, Holy Spirit-filled church in the heart of Nashville, where he serves as one of the main worship and Life Group leaders. He considers it the honor of a lifetime to be one of Nashville Life Christian Church’s thirty-seven founding members and aims to live life on purpose as his local church body joins forces to “Follow Jesus and Build Leaders” together.
