Brendon Robert Wright, born December
7 1989, better known as
B.Rite, is an Australian
electronic musician who had small success in late 2005 with the
single
Did You
Know and his debut album,
Make A Difference. Since then he has
had small success with his two album releases and further singles.
His third album, No Frills, No Thrills, is expected for release
sometime in mid-late 2008.
He has sold over 1000 CD singles and
albums from his independant music label, BML since his debut, all
of the writing, recording, producing, photography, music, video's
and distrubition of the CD's is entirely comosed by Brendon himself
and a handful of other staff. He has also had some success
producing the 2007 single
Phone Conversations by the artist
Ratna, selling over 250
copies of the single and 100 of his album
Lockdown
Procedure.
Early Career
At a young age Brendon
showed a strong interest in songwriting and creating music, usually
doing this with a keyboard. He once stated that he wrote about 150
songs between 1997-2004. Adding further to this with his two studio
albums.
After encouragement from co-workers and friends who had
read some of his material, Brendon started to record demo's on his
home computer during mid 2005 and worked on writing over 50
different songs for a possible release.
In August 2005 he founded his own recording label,
BML Records and he set about to record some of his written words
into actual songs. He recorded
Did You Know in September 2005 and whilst still
studying at school and working at a local supermarket, promoted it
and eventually sold around 500 copies of the signle during October
2005-Jan 2006. He then started recording more of his songs and
released his debut album,
Make A Difference in December 2005, which
he sold for AU$15.00 to his work colleagues and school peers
selling around 100 copies and making himself a small fortune that
was spent on buying instruments and new recording software for a
re-release of his album in higher quality formats.
In late
December 2005,
No
Sweat his second single was released which only sold around 50
copies and his success became limited thereafter.
Beat On Your
Back and
Pop The Club followed as third and fourth
singles respectively to lower restults, and then a re-mastered
version of
Did You
Know was released in April 2006, it sold better than its
predecessor and shortly after a re-mastered
No Sweat and album was released to higher
sales.
I Wanna Dance became a fifth and final single to
minor results.
To help promote the album, Brendon's official
MySpace page was created in May 2006. The page was deleted in
February 2007 for unknown reasons.
During mid 2006, B.Rite wrote some more mature lyrics for a
second album and started experimenting with heavier beats, guitar
riffs and synthisizers rather than just a drum beat with an
electronic background.
In October 2006
I Know U Want It
was released as the lead single and earned good reviews from
friends. A music video was made on his myspace page and was later
added to YouTube, along with the
Did You Know video. The
single sold around 200 copies and brought him back to local
popularity. The sexual overtone was an attempt to mature his image
as his previous releases were "fun" rather than
"serious".
N.O.D.N.E.R.B, his second album was released
in November 2006, less than a year after
Make A
Difference. Album sales were very slow and he eventually sold
only 40 copies for $15.00 before deciding to take a break and try
to land a major recording contract in early 2007, however he failed
to receive a contract and focused on producing other local artists
rather than his own. Before his decision to stop recording and
promoting, he released the dance track
Play It Cool and
the rock friendly, self-hating
Not Happy in early 2007,
the singles only sold around 10 copies each, little to his
dismay.
Current Projects
During early 2007 he
produced the debut album,
Lockdown Procedure from the electronica
artist
Ratna, along with its
singles has sold around 500 CD's before he took another break from
his music career.
In August 2007 he left his part-time at a
supermarket and worked part-time at a takeaway shop until early
2008.
A rumored album
No Frills, No Thrills, is
expected to be released sometime in mid-late 2008 with a new
MySpace page opening soon. He has confirmed that new tracks have
been written and some recorded.
