Contemporary gospel artist
Algeron Wright specializes in urgent, high-energy songs that aim to uplift and motivate his listeners. The singer, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist has independently released the albums
Live in the Carolinas (2008) and Live: With Family & Friends (2013), as well as subsequent singles highlighted by the triumphant "Created to Win" (2021). All of
Wright's material is powered by his robust voice and communal spirit.
A native of Columbia, South Carolina,
Wright has served as both a minister and a minister of music. He self-released his first album,
Live in the Carolinas, in 2008. Recorded at Stevenson Auditorium, the set included featured appearances from LeJeune Thompson and Curtis Young, Sr., as well as Eartha Wright and Thomas Wright. Five years later,
Wright issued the nationally distributed Live: With Family & Friends, an even more community-oriented project with
Angela Spivey, Izzy, and
Lowell Pye, along with
D'Vine --
Wright's previous vocal group -- among the contributors.
Wright has since been behind "I Really Love You" and "Created to Win," singles released respectively in 2016 and 2021. ~ Andy Kellman
