[edit] Biography
In 1978 Wright released a power pop single, "Strange Situation", (recorded at Spaceward Studios) on the Ellie Jay Record label. Wright's songs "Strange Situation" and "Silent Dreams" have appeared on BBC Radio 1 on the John Peel Show and the David Jensen Show in the later 70s and early 80s.
His 1982 Power pop/ Heavy metal band, International Heroes, were credited in The Encyclopedia of New Wave British Heavy Metal as a forerunner of the so-called power pop movement. He toured the UK as the lead vocalist of International Heroes during 1982 and 1983. The band were supported by Marillion.
In 1986, his original songs were published by Peer Music, London. He co-wrote with Hollywood producer, Kim Fowley, and recorded the Number 1 sixties hit, "Nut Rocker" by B. Bumble and the Stingers.
Sean Wright co-managed the all-girl Swedish band, Ice Age, in 1988-90, co-producing their MTV video "Instant Justice", and he co-ordinated their European tour, which saw them sell-out the London Hippodrome, the London Astoria, and the Marquee Club. The band also featured many times in Europe's music press pages, radio, and TV, and was voted best all-girl group in the world in 1989 by Kerrang! magazine. "Instant Justice" was played on Richard Branson's short-lived Music Box TV.
In April 2007, Wright embarked on his "album-a-month project", writing, recording, producing, and releasing physical CDs via CD Baby and mp3 album downloads via Last FM.[1] In August 2007, Wright began pre-production work with sound engineer and producer Mark Tinley for his final album, War No More in the album-a-month project. Production began in January 2008, with the album's release in March 2008.
Wright signed a worldwide management deal with Just Great Management in early January 2008.
