Contemporary Christian Singer/Songwriter, with six previous singles which played on 1,800+ stations worldwide, and NEW single (\"Thank You for Giving Me a Chance\", Adoption/Orphan song) playing worldwide now. Becky\'s song \"Child of My Heart\" included with songs by STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN, Todd Agnew, Geoff Moore, Sandi Patty and others on \"The Spirit of Adoption\", released in Sept. \'06.

\"God... in Christ... has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ\'s behalf, be reconciled to God.\" (2nd Corinthians 5:19-20) \"But God forbid that I should glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.\" (Galatians 6:14). \"...be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...\" (Eph. 5:18-20)
These are just a few reasons that this music exists, why I exist, why YOU exist-- to praise Him! God is worthy, and He can\'t be kept a secret! In God\'s (always) perfeft timing and providence, here comes another Oklahoma talent to bring fresh creativity to the Christian music scene. With two indie projects, a BRAND NEW album (\"No Denying\") with Lamon Records, and two award-winning singles on radio now, Becky Wright\'s music is now spreading across the nation as publishers, producers, recording artists, the church and the world are discovering her songs. Full of the Word and with \"un-apologetic fervor\", the church will be exhorted, encouraged, and inspired to deepen their worship of the one true and living God-- Jesus! And the world is being drawn to positive, pure music that celebrates life and true love-- and ultimately points to GOD-- Who IS Love!
Wright Ministries is a Ministry Department of Artists in Christian Testimony International (www.ACTinternational.org). Desiring to use every gift to point people to Jesus, Becky uses not only overtly Christian music, but positive country, pop, and adult contemporary to shine God\'s light to the world.
2006 welcomed a recording contract with Lamon Records, with the June 13th release of Becky\'s \"No Denying\" (A/C, Inspirational) album produced by Dave Moody of the Moody Brothers, available worldwide through most distributors. The first single \"While It is Day\" was released July 17, 2006 to over 1600 radio stations on the Lamon Radio Hits #10 disc, AND on the July 2006 I-disc released through Christian Radio Weekly. July 2007: \"Billy\'s Train\", the second release from the album, hit airwaves with a bang, landing the #2 Most Adds (Aug. 29th Christian Music Weekly Chart), and #106 on the Singing News Chart.
2007 DOVE AWARD honor: \"While It is Day\" made it to the 2007 First Ballot for \"Inspirational Song of the Year\", for which we are grateful and humbled. Along with such talented artists as Avalon, Darlene Zschech, Chris Rice, Matthew West, Dottie Rambo/David Phelps, Selah & Nicole Nordeman, Becky\'s song was in GREAT COMPANY!
2006 also saw Becky opening for MAJOR country stars, Bryan White and Jamey Johnson. She was also the Featured Indie Artist on the Oct/Nov/Dec 2006 Pillars Magazine. See the current issue at www.pillarsmagazine.com/indie.html (Thanks, Joe Quinn of IH, publisher!)
Sept. 2006: SONG on CD with STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN, TODD AGNEW, Sandi Patty, more: Becky\'s adoption song, \"Child of My Heart\", which won her the title (with Tommy Brandt) of DUO OF THE YEAR at the Agape Fest in June \'06, was just released on \"The Spirit of Adoption\", a 10-song compilation produced by Chuck & Lynette Giacinto in Illinois (rel. Sept. \'06). Available online, and here at Indie Heaven.
CCMA New Artist of the Year (2004) and Male Vocalist of the Year 2006 (Agape Fest) and CCMA 2007 Male Vocalist, Tommy Brandt, www.tommybrandt.org, recorded the song with Becky as a duet in September \'05 in Nashville, with the renowned Producer and President/Founder of the Christian Country Music Association, Gene Higgins. The single was officially released on Oct. 29th, 2005, and has made it to #2 on the Christian Music Weekly Chart (Christian country genre). It remained on that chart for 9 months since its release, on the PowerSource Music Magazine Chart for 4 months, and the IndieHeaven chart for 3 months.
Wright, who also teaches private piano & voice lessons, says: \"People often call me when they need a special song... it\'s a two-sided blessing/responsibility. God\'s inspiration anoints my effort (the ability which HE provides), fueled by His Word and His Spirit, and He always amazes me! I work at my craft, but know that I am blessed to be a \"song-receiver\" (like Dennis Jernigan describes his song-writing), and it is awkward to put MY name on the songs He gives me-- they\'re all HIS. I have a responsibility as a professional songwriter, but I (we) can do NOTHING without Him. He\'s the Creator and gift-giver.\"
Becky Wright has a full touring schedule with concerts and speaking engagements, and usually travels with her family. \"This is a family thing-- kids on stage and all. They\'re my FIRST ministry, and God has designed it that way.\" She resides with her family in Oklahoma, where they are also heavily involved in international student ministry (Japanese, Korean, others). Becky is available for concerts, retreats, revivals, civic groups, fund-raisers, judging talent competitions, and songwriting seminars.
