“I got sidetracked with fast living and shortcuts. Addiction made my straight lines turn into circles.
By God’s grace, a deep appreciation for life, and humility I got sober. But it was music that saved my life.
I want to use my music to touch the humble hopeful hearts of broken souls and let them know they’re not alone.
By heart, I’m a writer. My soul plays music.”

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER
“I mean, I never shot anybody’s dog”. Got rowdy with the boys, made a little noise…”
From the Piney Woods of East Texas, Christopher Wright Music was borne out of strong conservative Christian values and a steady diet of Merle Haggard and Hank Williams, Jr.
By eleven Christopher was playing guitar and writing music. His art offered a much-needed distraction from his fractured family. In 1986, Christopher, his mother, and sister moved north of Dallas to McKinney, Texas. After some scuffles with the locals, they relocated to Allen, Texas where Christopher firmly planted his boots in the ground.
Around this time urban hip-hop and Seattle grunge were shaping the musical landscape. Christopher’s love for the art of music was fire-roasted by the likes of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Dr. Dre. For Christopher, these artists complemented his respect for music of The Outlaws of Country Music.
High school and college were hastened by good times and trouble. Those days flew by like a Ford Mercury fresh off the line.
Christopher was a bit of a hell-raiser in his younger days. Had a few run-ins with the law.
“I got sidetracked with fast living, illegal shit, and shortcuts. Addiction made my straight lines into circles. Life was all fun and games until it wasn’t. I never shot anybody’s dog or anything, but I surely danced with the devil. After a few cold nights in county, I woke the hell up. Then it was the warm light of God”s word that guided me back to the light. In my desperation I found a deeper
appreciation for everything I was losing.”
In 2016 Christopher was diagnosed with acute liver failure. “That shit brought me to my knees.” Christopher credits his faith to getting him sober. And music for saving his life.
Christopher’s voice is deep, direct, and steady like a locomotive. His music will no doubt resonate with folks who are seeking light in the dark.
