Early life
Wright was born in Hyannis, Massachusetts and grew up in Cape Cod. While working in radio, he befriended Maurice Starr, who went on to discover New Edition. In 1988, when Starr was managing group New Kids on the Block, Starr hired Wright as a driver for the band, and Wright became the group's road manager for four years.
Personal life
Wright was previously married to Donna Wright. From 2001 to 2016, Wright was married to Erika Schwarz, a sports agent, attorney and first runner-up for the 1996 Miss America pageant.
Career
Wright moved to Orlando and began as a manager for the Backstreet Boys, Lou Pearlman's musical group. Wright believed that the Boys should first develop their act in continental Europe before making their American debut. The band found success in pop music-friendly Europe, and their second album Backstreet Boys went worldwide, selling 30 million copies. Although the Backstreet Boys were established in Europe, Pearlman signed another vocal group that was gaining attention in Orlando, NSYNC, at Wright's suggestion. NSYNC, duplicating Wright's European strategy, will continue to perform with Backstreet Boys' success, with their debut on the Billboard 200 chart at number two. The Backstreet Boys parted with Wright in September 1998, but they re-signed with him in 2004.
From 1998 to 2003, Wright ran Britney Spears from 1998 to 2003. In 2002, Justin Timberlake's solo career began as the boss.
Wright's management team featured eleven artists during 2000, including Blaque, Wild Orchid, P.Y.T., and Aaron Carter.
He appeared as a judge on NBC's talent/reality show Fame, hosted by one of his own managed talents, Joey Fatone of *NSYNC in 2003.
Wright teamed up with Sean "Diddy" Combs for the third season of Making the Band in 2004. Danity Kane, a failed first attempt, was finally selected in 2005. Wright served as the group's (which also included singer Shannon Bex, who appeared on Fame) manager. He quit governing Danity Kane in 2008 by text message.
Wright was chosen to lead the new version of the Latino boy band Menudo in 2007. Under the Sony BMG and Epic Records brand, the new project would be a mash-up of urban, pop, and rock music in English and Spanish. Several auditions were held in various cities, including Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, New York, among others. During a one-week mini-competition in New York, fifteen youngsters were selected from 25 finalists: José Montaez, Carlos Pena, Jr., Anthony, Samuel Rogers, Dennis, Gary, Patrick, Hansel, Jorge Lopez, Thomas, Trevor, José Montayo, José Montay, Thomas, and Trevor Manuel. Wright, choreographer Anibal Marrero, and voice coach David Coury met with the 15 semifinalists in South Beach, Florida, to continue the band's growth, which was chronicled in a reality show on MTV called Making Menudo.
Wright revealed the formation of a new boy band band group, which was eventually called One Call. The group was made up of two former members of Menudo, Chris Moy, and José Bordonada Collazo; former NLT member Justin Thorne; and newcomer Anthony Gamlieli.
Wright was also the boss of Aubrey O'Day Kane and appeared on the Oxygen docu-reality film All About Aubrey.
Wright joined AT&T and Cambio in 2011 to produce On the Spot: Johnny Wright's Quest to Form the Next Supergroup.
On the Cambio website in 2011, Wright appeared on the Cambio website as the web reality series On the Spot. The talent community's search for the next supergroup was chronicled on the exhibit. The competition was limited to 20 people, who were then placed in a series of challenges that put together each contestant's artistic prowess, business savvy, and zeal. The winners of the competition will be flown to Los Angeles to participate in Wright's legendary "Boot Camp," a rigorous workshop of rehearsals, dance choreography, vocal lessons, and media preparation.
Wright appeared on Take The Stage, a YOBI.tv singing competition web series. Katelyn, Mykell, Brooklynn, Marquisa, Tyler, Gabrielle, Ashlynn, and Luke, along with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and a number of other music and media industry professionals, was questioned and insulted by the competition's jury – see who had what it took to be the next breakout star. Take The Stage's winner received $20,000 and a one-year management contract with Wright Entertainment Group and YOBI.tv.
Wright took on a new Orlando-based company called 89, and they helped them debut their first single, "Give Me Some More (GMSM), and its accompanying music video in 2012. During this year, he also signed British singer-songwriter Luke Potter.
Wright began to deal with Agnez Mo's career in August, helping her to break into the American music market.
Johnny Wright managed Dumblonde, the new music pairing made up of former Danity Kane members Aubrey O' Day and Shannon Bex, beginning in early 2015.
