Wright Stuff Management President: Donna Wright is known for making music history. She works hard and promotes her talent even harder. Cutting her teeth on New Kids on the Block w/ex-husband, Johnny Wright, in the early 90's, it was a natural progression for the Wrights to move to Orlando, FL, placing them at the forefront of the teen pop explosion and looking for their next challenge.
Both Donna Wright and Clive Caulder, CEO of Jive Records, wisely believed that the United States wasn't quite ripe for the teen pop explosion. They arranged for the Backstreet Boys to tour Europe, where they built huge followings in Germany and England. 1996 was ushered in with the Backstreet Boys being voted the #1 International Group in Germany. Their single "I'll Never Break Your Heart" not only went immediately to gold, but hit #1 in Austria. The group earned their first platinum record in Germany. After a year and a half perfecting their act in Europe and creating a huge buzz internationally, Jive Records decided it was time to bring the boys home to tour Canada and the US. It was 1997 and pop music was returning to the forefront in the United States. The Backstreet Boys's second album while hitting big on US charts, debuted at #1 in Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Finland and Austria. In total the Backstreet Boys had 13 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and had sold approximately 100 million albums, making them the best selling boy band of all time; they were number 1 in concert and album sales from 1997-2005. Two of their albums - Millennium (at #36) and Backstreet Boys (at #40) - are among the top 40 most popular albums of all-time. During this time, her ex-husband, Johnny was working on developing a second group out of Orlando - N'Sync . Donna Wright also managed Pink
Donna received a call from a hysterical Disney executive that one of their main acts had cancelled at the last minute and could she think of a replacement. She immediately turned to Johnny declaring this is the break you've been looking for! Booking N'Sync for this Disney Special was the first step that propelled them on their own road to success. Donna originally signed Pink to manage her after discovering her singing in the Orlando, FL, area. Donna worked with Pink, promoting her in Orlando and New York before arranging for her to open for N'Sync during their summer concert tour. While helping to bring Backstreet Boys to over 100 million albums and 2 billion dollars in sales she managing N' Sync and Pink.
