Three years ago, I began writing, recording, and releasing an album every month. In March 2010, I achieved a personal goal: 36 albums of new songs released in 36 months. That equates to 432 songs. I have been told that I am the most prolific songwriting in the shortest time in music. Perhaps. I don't know. What matters to me is you, the listener! I want to say a BIG thank you to all the kind folk who have supported my musical marathon by downloading and listening to my songs, over 500,000 FREE downloads in 3 years on my official site, Jamendo, Last Fm, Myspace, and others!

Album-a-Month Project Praise
Sean Wright's album-a-month project began in April 2007 and quickly garnered a huge fan-base and public support from major musicbiz producers, sound engineers, and musicians. Top online music news source, No Rock And Roll Fun ran an article, claiming that Wright was "possibly the hardest-working man in showbiz." What made Wright's project even more appealing was his artistic decision to offer his whole catalogue of songs as free MP3 downloads.
Producer, Alexander Nevermind's support of Wright's album-a-month project has been unflinching and vocal, praising Wright's music publicly on myspace. Nevermind works behind the scenes as one member of a collective of musicians, composers, and producers known as moodswings.com in the US, a collective whose influence on the world of popular music is far-reaching and immense. Nevermind is also known as dance music producer and songwriter, LaTour, as well as other pen names. Nevermind said he "loved Wright's music and work ethic."
New York-based, Roman Klun said Sean Wright’s project, “all sounds and feels good.” Klun is the award-winning record producer, music engineer and singer/songwriter who worked on Sarah McLachlan's Grammy nominated and Juno Award winning record "Afterglow."
"Love your stuff Baby. Blaze-on!" Dana Gaynor, top US guitar player (John Lee Hooker, Bobby Rondinelli, and many more)
Jimmy Zavala, legendary harmonica player for The Eurythmics, Etta James, Tom Petty, Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi, Yes, Barry White, Dr. Dre, and many more has said that Wright's music "sounds great."
"I'm completely blown away by your Album-A-Month project! That's amazing!!! I'm listening to some songs on the music player now... REALLY impressive! I look foward to spending more time listening and following your progress," Swapmeet Louie, guitarist and keyboard player for Bo Bice.
"By releasing new material every month, Sean Wright could be setting himself up for a fall. Yet with tracks as catchy as those currently on his MySpace music page, who can complain? 'Open Your Mind' is a strong song, with a driving guitar edge that propels him along full throttle, and his vocal delivery is suitably brash. With 'Walking Pretty' showing no signs of slowing down, it's a great start. 'Love's Alive' and 'Impossible' again show talent, especially with the latter, which appears to be his most popular track due to its impressive high number of plays. Sean Wright has an innovative and original idea, and a style to match." East Midlands Talent Radio
"Musician and author Sean Wright is a killer musician who has this album a month project going on. (yes, really!! ) He’s incredibly talented and I have reviewed a couple of them but I can barely keep up with this man — and he’s writing books too. He’s genius!" Stevie Wilson, editor at LA Story
"You have a wonderful voice!" Betsy Hammer, vocal coach, actress, who has worked with Adam Sandler, Christopher Walken,
"Wow! Guess you can write!!! I am not that fast- my lyrics take me weeks but love your classic rock feel," Alana Grace, singer-songwriter with Colombia Records
"There are people who make music, and then there are those who ARE music. Sean Wright is music, so beautiful," Reine Amodeo, New York poet, singer, songwriter
"I love the ballad (of Leon Payne). I tell you what! Daddy would have loved your originality." Myrtie, Leon Payne's daughter. Leon Payne's songs have been covered by Elvis, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, U2, and many more.
Dan Nash of Just Great Management has said: "KUDOS! I love what you're doing and I love how you're doing it. We will be keeping tabs on you and your progress, but I'm thinking that when the 12-months are done, you're going to be sitting on 144 of the best songs in a long long time..."
Dan Nash worked for many years at Atlantic Records and A&M Records with Suzanne Vega, Paul Simon, Foreigner, and many others as a sound engineer. He formed Just Great Management with producer - Niko Bolas, whose mixing, engineering, and production credits speak for themselves - Neil Young, James Taylor, Keith Richard, Rachel Yamagata, Warren Zevon, Tracy Chapman, Billy Joel, Kate Voegele, Steve Parry, Melissa Etheridge, Sting, and many more.
"By the end of 2009 he has 22 full albums available for free downloading. Whatever this obsession is, I hope he doesn’t stop because he has the chops and the pen to get away with it. His songs are well crafted works with passionate and articular lyrics delivered with a voice that delivers the goods. Influences like Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon are obvious but I think the 80s new wave signatures of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker are lurking in these songs too." Free Downloads Galore
