From the Artist
Dear Friends,
"Danny Wright Healer of Hearts" has very special significance for me. I worked with Terence Yallop, President of Real Music, to review every single track I recorded from my first twenty albums. Our selections represent what we both consider to be the very finest representation of this Danny Wright collection of albums, including both cover and original compositions, recorded over a period of twenty years. During that time I am proud to say that I have matured greatly as a pianist. I have also had the opportunity to work on three albums with the wonderful producer, Johnny Marshall, who produced "Danny Wright Healer of Hearts."

We were fortunate, through my affiliation as a Steinway artist, to have a rare nine-foot Steinway D piano made available to me for this recording. I truly believe that the combination of my skill, together with the digital recording process now available, offers an album that stands above the original recordings as a unique tribute to the feelings and talent I want to share with people through my musical interpretation. I am so grateful for the loving impact I’ve been able to have on people’s lives through my music and am honored to be worthy of the title "Healer of Hearts." Thank you for you continued support of my music.

Love, Danny Wright

About the Artist
One of New Age music’s finest performers, Wright is a brilliantly talented pianist who has sold over 4 million CDs since his debut album in 1986. In 1993 and 1994, he was named by Billboard Magazine as a Top 10 artist in the New Age genre. Three of his albums were included in Billboard’s Top 10 New Age Albums in 1992, 1993 and 1994, and he has twice been nominated by the National Association of Record Merchandisers as the Best Seller in the New Age category.

Danny Wright’s destiny began to unfold at age four when he reached up and played the theme from Dr. Zhivago on the piano in the family’s living room. Recognizing an exceptional gift, his parents arranged for study under the respected professor, Dr. Harris Cavender. Since that time, Danny’s life has consisted of his love of music, the piano and his desire to share his gift with others. His warm, outgoing personality combined with extraordinary talent has enabled him to touch millions of listeners through his recordings and concerts.

Trained as a classical pianist, Wright composes and performs original compositions that are blended with various influences including contemporary jazz, classical and neoclassical. CD Review describes his original compositions as "fluidly crafted, backed up by exquisite musicianship." Wright also performs his own gorgeous arrangements of Broadway and film classics by well-loved composers. When not in the studio recording, Danny performs in concert as a guest artist with pops symphonies and has appeared in concert at top venues from the Berklee Performance Center in Boston to the Schoenburg Hall in Los Angeles.

Danny’s love for animals and the innocence of children inspire him to perform numerous benefit concerts in support of such organizations as the Humane Society, the Pediatric AIDs foundation and the American Red Cross. Danny also plays concerts in support of Breast Cancer Awareness in gratitude that his mother is a breast cancer survivor.
