Hey there, I’m Ludwig Wright. Thank you for joining me here on my website. It’s my little home in the internet, which I use to showcase my music. Have a look around and let me know if I somehow can be of help.
The film “The Blues Brothers” accompanied me throughout my childhood. It’s about two brothers, who want to put on a show to save the orphanage in which they grew up in. For that they bring their old band back together. The performances, the songs, the energy – I soaked it all up and knew I was going to be a musician.
I’ve released three albums: “HOPE” in 2018, in which I vibrantly sing of optimism, “LOVE” in 2020, reflecting different facets of the one true feeling and “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” in 2023, a collection of tales with the sea as the setting. Latter received four stars by RnR Magazine, was called a “colourful kaleidoscope of earwormy song pearls” by Schall Magazin and was shortlisted by the German Record Critics’ Award.
Additionally, I co-wrote and sang a song with the film composer Freya Arde, who like me lives in Berlin, for the fourth German adaptation of Erich Kästner’s novel called “Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer” (The Flying Classroom). Currently I’m working on my fourth album which will come out in early summer 2026. Although I love writing stories and recording them in my songs, my true passion lies in playing concerts and in captivating my audience with sing-along melodies while putting Rock ’n’ Roll into Folk.
My current single “I, Robert” is available now. Order a CD of my album “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” here.

Tech Dependence and what I learned from it
At the end of January, I lost complete access to my musician’s page on Facebook. I built that page for the last 10 years. I’ve contacted the support and there’s still hope to restore it. It’s mindboggling how dependent our everyday life has become on our phones and apps mostly owned by US-American companies.
It’s hard to imagine living without a quick text on WhatsApp, finding a route on Google Maps, staying in touch with friends on Instagram or spending an evening watching Netflix. In itself, there is nothing wrong with that. But I find it important to be aware of these dependencies and to draw consequences, when one is unhappy. I think every small step can be a good one.
That’s why from now on I’ll be concentrating on my newsletter and writing directly. I’ll add more sections on my website. I won’t use a US-company for my crowdfunding campaign in spring and instead, the German platform Startnext. Additionally, my fourth album won’t be available on streaming platforms. I know: there isn’t one size fits all. I still use a lot of services which I mentioned above. But it’s not about being perfect.
