Pastor David Wright Featured In #MusicLov3rz Magazine May!

Pastor David Wright was born on July 14, 1978, the third of five sons to bless the union of Gospel legend Rev. Timothy Wright and Evangelist Betty Wright.

In early 1995, this sixteen year old young man began playing the organ with no classical training or conventional lessons, but instead, purely by the anointing of God after a 3-day shut-in and prayer. He played, he prayed and God performed.

Since that experience, Pastor David Wright has become an accomplished musician, having worked with the late James Moore, Kim Burrell, Betty Nelson, Ricky Dillard, James Hall, Dorothy Norwood, and many others. His gift has made room for him, allowing him to travel the world as a young adult, and even play before an audience that included Pope John Paul II in 2000. By as early as 1997, Davey, as he is affectionately known, had played on his first live recording: Rev. Timothy Wright and the B.J. Mass Choir’s Been There Done That. He has been featured as a writer, musician, and producer on dozens of gospel albums, which have led to seven Stellar Awards nominations for New York Fellowship’s Live In New York (2003), Let’s Celebrate (2004), the Grammy nominated Jesus, Jesus, Jesus (2007), and the New York Fellowship Children’s Choir’s God is the Greatest (2019).

Pastor David Wright eventually stepped into the role of recording artist, and, with his four brothers, Danny, Donny, Derrick and Dwayne, formed The DW Project in December 2004. Though initially an instrumental band, when the brothers decided to add vocals to their authentic sound, the response was tremendous. The DW Project released its first self-titled CD in 2008, a youthful, soulful mix of contemporary gospel music with a clear foundation in the traditional sound for which the late Rev. Timothy Wright is known. Pastor David Wright served as the primary songwriter for the group. His songwriting style that mixes Praise & Worship with Traditional Gospel has inspired, encouraged, shifted atmospheres, and stirred up worship in every setting the group has ministered.

Pastor Wright has also seen to fruition a dream of his father’s: Godfather Records. This gospel music record label was envisioned by The Godfather of Gospel, Rev. Timothy Wright, to be a home for artists who would focus on the ministry of the music and not just its popularity, the anointing and not just the artistry. When Godfather Records released Pastor David Wright and the New York Fellowship Mass Choir - The Next Generation, a double volume project, it was in commemoration of Rev. Timothy Wright’s Come Thou Almighty King twenty years before. And today, there is great excitement and anticipation for more new music from Pastor David Wright and the New York Fellowship Mass Choir after a live recording that shook Brooklyn, NY during Summer 2019.

Pastor Wright continues to teach choirs and participate in musician workshops, aiding in building up music ministries across the nation and the musician-pastor relationship in churches

On September 15, 2001, David Wright married the former Geneatha Daughtry of Boynton Beach, Florida, and together they are raising their children, Rocky, Jasmine, and Jai to walk in fear and admonition of the Lord.

David Wright was ordained Pastor of Grace Tabernacle Christian Center Church of God in Christ in Brooklyn, NY on May 13, 2009. It is here at his home church, where his parents were both founders and co-pastors, that Pastor David Wright imparts his gifts in the ministry of music and musicianship, sound counsel, and Biblical teaching.
