About

“Well-versed versatility” how better to describe the sound of Hilton ‘Deuce’ Wright II. The award-winning, 6x Billboard #1, RIAA platinum & gold certified, record producer, songwriter, and composer embraces the perfect blend of what has been, is and will forever be amazing in music. Getting his start in the church choir and school band on the outskirts of Detroit, this music man has already proven himself to be a flawless gem in the Motor City’s crown. In the early 2000s he teamed up with his cousin Brian to form the production duo WrighTrax. As a unit, the two cut their teeth by helping craft the sound of an unknown and unsigned Big Sean. The musical results secured the artist’s deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music and subsequent deal with Def Jam.

Drawing inspiration from such musical giants as Michael Jackson, Rick Rubin, Quincy Jones and J. Dilla, to name a few, enables him to keep an un-capped, fresh approach to his music. To date, Hilton has had the great fortune of producing/writing for artists such as: Mike Posner, Big Sean, Sofia Reyes, Drake, Rick Ross, Pusha T, Mr. Hudson and the cast of the hit abc TV show black•ish as co-producer/composer of the song “Juneteenth” performed in the season four premiere (winner of a 2019 Guild of Music Supervisors Award). In addition to a host of other prominent and emerging artists, he’s also had the opportunity to score advertisements for such major corporations as Ford, Wal-Mart, Jeep and Corona.

On July 15th, 2020, Hilton took his career to the next level by launching Seven15 Labs, a music-centric media company that serves as a creative outlet for his collaborations with artists across all genres and mediums.

Currently based in Los Angeles, CA, with his wife Maria and their two sons, Hilton has a goal to be more than just a producer or songwriter…he strives to be “a change agent using music as his springboard.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hilton Wright II and Seven15 Labs Sign Exclusive Deals with Warner Chappell Music

Los Angeles, CA – May 20, 2024 – Renowned record producer, songwriter, and composer Hilton Wright II has signed an exclusive global administration deal with Warner Chappell Music. In conjunction with this, Seven15 Labs, Wright’s music-centric media company, has inked an exclusive global administration and co-publishing deal, marking the launch of the company’s music publishing division.

Hilton Wright II, an award-winning, multi-Billboard #1, RIAA platinum writer/producer, has an illustrious career that began in the metro Detroit area. He formed the production duo WrighTrax alongside his cousin, playing a pivotal role in crafting the sound of Big Sean, which helped secure the artist’s signing with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam. Wright’s discography also includes prominent artists such as Mike Posner, Sofia Reyes, and the cast of the hit ABC TV show “black•ish,” among others. Wright’s work with brands includes crafting music for Walmart, Jeep, Ford, and Corona. Most recently, Wright produced and co-wrote the Shady Blu (NoName Recordings/Interscope) single “WOW,” which was licensed by ESPN as the theme of women’s college basketball on the SEC Network and by the NFL for a Super Bowl LVIII promo.

Expressing his excitement about the new venture, Wright said, “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with the best music publisher in the business to amplify the reach and impact of my songwriting and Seven15’s catalog on a global scale. Major thanks to Rich, Carianne, and the entire Warner Chappell team. Their support and belief in my vision mean the world to me, and I’m eager to take this next step in my career with such an innovative company.”

Rich Robinson, EVP, Global Sync and Media Original Music, WCM, said: “Hilton is a super talented songwriter who also instinctively understands the visual medium, so it was a no-brainer for us to want to work with him. His ability to collaborate is top drawer, and I know he has a very bright future ahead as a music creator.”

Since launching Seven15 Labs, Wright has continued to push the boundaries of what it means to be a songwriter in the new songwriter economy. The company serves as a creative outlet for his collaborations with artists and brands across all genres and mediums. Last year, Wright led a campaign with The General Auto Insurance, serving as the vocal producer and sound engineer for The General Sound Studio, a professional-grade recording studio housed inside a custom-built vehicle. This campaign, in partnership with Epic Records, brought ten emerging artists to Nashville to get their “big break” from The General.
