Wright's musical talent and innovative approach to keyboards played a crucial role in shaping Pink Floyd's unique sound.

  Richard William Wright was born in Hatch End, Middlesex, England. His passion for music developed at a young age, and he began playing the piano at the age of seven. Wright's formal music education began at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London, where he studied architecture.
