Ludwig Wright is putting Rock ’n’ Roll into Folk. Musically, he is the child of Elvis Presley and Joni Mitchell. From his father he got the dazzling stage presence and the charming smile. His mother gave him the tender fingerpicking and his strong, clear voice. With catchy songs, delicate ballads and a pinch of self-irony the singer-songwriter has no inhibitions to mix musical styles and creates thereby an all-around warm atmosphere. His audience draws from this both positivity and energy and goes home with not only one ear worm.

In April 2018 Ludwig Wright released his first album “HOPE”. Poppy and with full band arrangements it is about motivation, optimism and dreams. In the same year he moved to London, where he performed in the folk-clubs around town. In that time, he wrote his second album “LOVE”, which came out in January 2020. The songs – recorded acoustically with guitar, vocals and stomp box – recount break-ups, long distance relationships, family and reciprocated love. The single “Together“ was released in July 2021 and is about collectively overcoming a challenge. The music video was a collaborative effort with close to 50 participants. In general, he likes to give his songs another layer of meaning with interesting videos.

After four months on Tenerife, in which Ludwig Wright solely concentrated on songwriting, the 27-year-old moved to Berlin and released three more singles with accompanying videos. With “my life with you” (April 2022) as a homely homage to love, he is treading familiar terrain. “On the Run” (July 2022) is the soundtrack to plucking up courage, hitting the road and leaving things behind.

“This Time” a “Let’s change the world”-Song (October 2022) is meant for 30,000 voices at the next climate strike protest. The driven and rocky track is both manual and motivation. “This Time” describes an outlook of a growing and impactful movement fighting the climate crisis. In addition to playing shows around Germany Ludwig Wright is currently working on his third album with producer Micki Meuser to be due in 2023.
