James Wright Releases Self-Titled Debut EP from GMA Records
James was born in Australia and he grew up in Hong Kong. 7 months ago, he emailed an audition video to GMA Network for the now defunct reality show “Anak Ko ‘Yan” and immediately received a reply inviting him to come to the Philippines because he made it as one of the finalists.
Although James did not win the show (he only made it to Top 5), his vocal prowess got the attention of GMA Records and with the help of GMA Artist Center and E-Talent Management, the Filipino-Australian lad is now a full-fledged recording artist!
Last week, GMA Records released James Wright’s self-titled debut EP with the infectious “Sana’y Ikaw” as the carrier single. There are four other songs in the EP, all of which are Filipino love songs like “Babe,” “Ikaw Yon,” “Kung Hindi Ikaw,” and “Ako’y Sa ‘Yo”–all helmed by industry veteran Vehnee Saturno. Also included in the EP are the minus one version of the five songs which fans can sing along to.
Three things that you still don’t know about James:
“When I was young I love to experiment with drinks and the one drink that kinda threw me off was ‘yung coke and milk so I mixed those two then sumakit ang tiyan ko.”
“I was a die hard Harry Potter fan from Part 1 to Part 8, I watched every single movie at least 10 times.”
“I always sing South Border’s “Rainbow” while in the shower.”
Three things that describe him according to…him:
