J. C. Wright

J.C Wright is a singer, songwriter and producer who creates sumptuous folk-tinged vignettes, as introspective as they are optimistic.

Having built an expansive, decades-long career in music, Wright has immersed himself in a variety of roles both in the UK and the USA. He has been a key member of major label bands such as Das Psycho Rangers, as well as forming Big Life Casino and The Genies. His endless love for music has enabled Wright to pursue his single-minded creative path whilst experiencing the highs and lows this unique industry has to offer.

From performing on notable TV show The Tube and touring with Psychedelic Furs, Meatloaf, Mansun and Kula Shaker, to moving to New York and playing multiple shows at the iconic CBGB’s, Wright’s adventures are spectacular. On his return to London, Wright co-founded renowned venue The Splash Club at The Water Rats, which was at the heart of the Brit Pop explosion, famously hosting Oasis’ first ever London show. Making use of his extensive knowledge both on and off the stage, Wright has dedicated his time to promoting up-and-coming creatives, forming his own record label Clear Light Records. In conjunction with Declared Goods, the label has been a platform for the release of projects including The Arthur Brothers and Flora Hibberd - both produced by Wright.

With a collection of songs amassed over the past 20 years, J. C. Wright has finally taken the long overdue step of once again sharing his own music with the world. Wright’s eclectic, melodic, and emotive songwriting style is deeply personal. Dark and confessional at times, Wright’s songwriting is laced with playful inventiveness, melded with unexpected arrangements. Wright’s profound songwriting is laid bare on forthcoming EP, In The Halfway House Of Hearing. The record is a deeply personal collection of folk-tinged songs dealing with themes of loss, longing, regret, guilt, substance and alcohol abuse, death, the afterlife and, ultimately, hope. Mesmerising throughout, the EP even contains a majestic, piano led '70s psych-inspired end of the world love song of the previously released single When There's Nowhere Left To Turn, with a video due to be released to accompany the full length EP version.

In The Halfway House Of Hearing. is out on 25th April on Clear Light Records via Declared Goods.
