Early life
Wright was born in Bradford to David Wright, owner of a gallery in Bradford that showcased local artists. Originally wanting to become a designer, Wright was persuaded to take a Youth Training Scheme at a local printing firm.[2]
He met the other founding members of Terrorvision whilst working as a glass-collector and barman in a local pub,[3] and the band began their music career as The Spoilt Bratz.
Solo career
In March 2014, Wright announced a solo acoustic project.[4] In September 2014 he released his debut solo album Thoughts 'N' All.[5] The album was met with a positive review on PureRawk.com which called it "Down to Earth, unpretentious and easy to get on with".[6]
In August 2016, he released Walnut Dash.[7]

Wright is the owner of Oldfield Press,[8] and has produced a range of letterpress and woodcut printed cards that he sells online, at his coffee shop/print studio/venue (Bloomfield Square) in Otley, Yorkshire, and via a number of pop-up shops in the Keighley area. Following his career in Terrorvision, Wright also pursued a career in building miniature dry-stone walls which he sold in galleries around Yorkshire.[2]
