Mark Wright
Chicago
Mark S. Wright was born in 1980 to Bishop Eddie & Susan Wright. He grew up in a strict Pentecostal home that proved to be a training ground for the work he was predestined to do. Without any formal training, at the age of 9; Wright entered into the ministry of music as a drummer and later pianist at a local church. After surpassing the “then” current traditions of gospel musicianship, Wright’s parents saw the need to invest in his natural talent. They encouraged him to pursue higher education and to play skillfully. Wright went on to study music and vocal performance at Carl Schurz H.S & The Music School of Baroque with Mr. Jan Jarvis.
Wright has been blessed to partner with several ministries as a Musician/ Consultant and/or Minister of Music.

His strong convictions concerning excellence in the area of music, led him to go a step further. He began to a position himself as a phenomenal song writer, instructor, organizer, and music staff developer.
