Musician
Damian Wright is a professional musician from Newcastle. He grew up surrounded by music with his father and two sisters all playing piano, saxophone and flute most days. As a result, from an early age, Damian developed a deep connection to music.
“I fell in love with flamenco guitar as a teenager and studied with one of Newcastle’s guitar legends Vince Martinelli, and shortly after for years in Spain,” he said.
“Music has enabled me to travel internationally to study and perform in many places from The Sydney Opera House to a 500-year-old castle in India.”
