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 I will release in early 2027. Help me with my Crowdfunding Campaign to finance it: https://www.startnext.com/en/ludwigwright/more-info?lang=en

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 “Ferris Wheel” is available now. Order a CD of my album “Turn of Tides or Where the Waves Come From” here.

With the Many, not the Few

Help me with my Crowdfunding Campaign for my new album “Jack of Hearts”.

Instead of simply presenting you with a finished album, I want to give you the chance to hop on to the bandwagon before the album is finalised and to become part of this process, also financially.

The idea is simple: Many people, a crowd, finance and fund a project. For this I decided to with the biggest German crowdfunding site called Startnext.

I created a page to explain everything in detail. To become part of “Jack of Hearts” you can support with a free amount or by preordering a so-called reward. Every contribution helps, to make it happen. Thank you.

Be part of it: https://www.startnext.com/en/ludwigwright/more-info?lang=en

Slow-Mo Video of “Ferris Wheel”

Recently, I released my new single “Ferris Wheel”. I shot the video at the Baltic Sea after a concert. It’s a simple video with a twist: I shot it in double speed to slow it down afterwards. I’m singing in time but everything else is spherically slow.

Ferris Wheel

“Ferris Wheel”, my new single, captures a relationship on the brink. It describes the moment of having that deciding talk: looking back and reminiscing, looking forward and seeing no future. But maybe holding on to the memories will make it last?

Produced by composer and guitarist Freya Arde, “Ferris Wheel” evokes the acoustic spheres of Bon Iver, Lord Huron and Phoebe Bridgers. The song pulls one into the nostalgia of funfairs and plays softly stirring on the haunting beauty of life.

Taking a Ride

On 12 June I’m releasing my new single “Ferris Wheel”. Produced and cowritten by Freya Arde the song captures a relationship on its brink. It describes the moment of having that deciding talk: looking back and reminiscing, looking forward and seeing no future.

I’m very much looking forward to sharing it with you.
