Today we’d like to introduce you to Josh Wright. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Real Estate: Born and raised in Celeste, TX, a town of only 800 people, Josh moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University and pursue a passion for music. In 2012, he was a top 20 male finalist on American Idol. His interest in real estate started when he learned that Olympic medalist Alex Naddour was also a real estate agent. It wasn’t long before Josh became certain that helping people purchase and sell their homes was more than a desire; he would make it happen. Since real estate is often the most expensive investment someone makes in their lifetime, exploring options and knowledgeably guiding people through this process excites Josh the most. Josh is honored to join forces with Compass and help you with your real estate needs!
Music: Significant moments of our lives often have a soundtrack — stories pieced together by our unique circumstances and the experiences we all share. Like a rising crescendo, we remember the mountaintop moments. Yet in the valley, we learn to walk forward faithfully, come what may. Music powerfully captures the breadth of these moments and firmly anchors them in time.
Josh Wright’s music carries an appreciation of hard work and humility from his upbringing on a small Texas cattle farm. Drawing from his experiences as a Belmont University graduate, top 40 finalist on American Idol, and member of Nashville Life Music, Josh delivers sincere messages and stirring music to his listeners. His music’s level of excellence and heart has resulted in over one million streams, encouraging listeners with enduring hope. He has shared the stage with artists including Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, and CeCe Winans. Josh’s distinguished sound and original lyrics contribute to the enduring message of contemporary Christian music. In cinematic style, Josh’s music draws out our stories, helping us to view our life events from an eternal perspective. He communicates the timeless message of the Gospel through soulful melodies. Authentic lyrics and soothing acoustics comfort and console on a spiritual level, anchoring listeners in unwavering truth with the assurance that God is victorious and He is for us. As we listen, we’re invited to embrace the work God wants to do in our hearts and are compelled to follow Jesus no matter the cost.
Alright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
At one point, I had $21.56 in my bank account with nearly $100K in debt. I also lost my father to cancer when I was 17, as well as my 16-year-old brother in a car accident. I had also overcome health battles when I faced anxiety, depression, and regular panic attacks in my mid-20s. I had to learn to trust God through Christ more than my circumstances and feelings.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m using the funds I have earned through being an award-winning real estate team to fund my debut contemporary Christian music album.
What makes you happy?
Family. Friends. Resting in the presence of God. Leading others well in almost every capacity, I find myself in a leadership role that provides purpose amid challenges. I’ve been president of my HOA, I often lead worship at Nashville Life Christian Church, I co-lead a men’s Life Group Bible study on Wednesdays, and I also lead The Wright Group, an award-winning residential real estate team at Compass RE. As packed as my schedule can be, unplugging technology and taking a walk in the mornings is one of my favorite parts of the day.
