Anthony Wright has been surrounded by music his entire life. His father being a minister and his mother a gospel singer, Anthony got his start in the church. His thirst for repertoire and his great ears led him to a giant gospel song list, and he started to take music seriously. At 14 he was playing with members of the Isley Brothers and Surface, and it wasn’t long before he was the staff arranger for Busch Garden’s Starlight Orchestra… at the age of 16.
After extensive teaching from some amazing professors and musicians in their own right, Anthony move to the cruise ship industry. His arranging and composition skills, along with his proficiency in saxophone, flute, clarinet, piano and voice led him to become Carnival Cruise Lines youngest Musical Director. To this date, Anthony is responsible for just about 1⁄2 of CCL’s written shows.
Anthony has been seen entertaining the likes of Geddy Lee, Bill Clinton, Shakira, Eugene Levy, Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Elton John. He has worked with Bryan Adams, BoB, Jadakiss, Flo Rida, and Christina Aguilera to name a few.
He worked under Orin Isaacs for the 2019 & 2021 Junos, The 2018 & 2019 Canada’s Walk Of Fame, The 2021-2024 seasons of Canada’s Got Talent, and the 2022-2024 Legacy Awards.
