NASHVILLE, TENN. (OCTOBER 04, 2024) Independent singer/songwriter Josh Wright has released a brand new poignant song, "The Fall," which will be going for adds at radio today. Listen to "The Fall" here. 

Coming from a small town in Texas, Josh Wright's story is one filled with faith, music, and resilience. At the age of 17, he lost his father to cancer during his senior year of High School. He attended Belmont University on a scholarship with an esteemed four years filled with showcases and a semester abroad at King's College. His story continued with another tragedy losing his 16-year-old brother in a car accident when Wright's career was just beginning to take off. After spending several quiet years to heal and focus on life beyond music, it wasn't until recently that he felt God calling him back into music.

"About three years ago, I felt like I heard God whisper, ‘Josh, sing.’ So one small step at a time, I re-joined the worship team at my church, and I went through hundreds of unfinished song ideas about the broken pieces of my life and shaped them into a message of hope which is becoming my debut album," shares Josh Wright.

He continues, "This debut song is significant because it represents all that God has done in my life and it’s the first signal that something greater is in the works. Sometimes we just need someone on the other side of grief to tell us that joy does come in the morning. Knowing my life can help others believe in God’s best for their lives causes my joy today to resound louder than every long night and every tear cried.”

This song will be the flagship single for his debut album set to release in 2025. Wright's music has been streamed more than five million times. He currently leads worship both nationally and internationally, recently leading more than 400 missionaries in Cyprus off the coast of Israel. Stay tuned for more music from Josh Wright.
