For one Baylor student, validation as an artist is starting to feel like reality.

Guitar in hand, Jasper senior Savion Wright was awarded his ticket to Hollywood last week after his audition on season 13 of the hit reality singing competition “American Idol,” a dream Wright said has been a lifetime in the making.

“My whole experience so far now is completely surreal,” Wright said. “It’s been a rollercoaster ride.”

If you have ever passed by Common Grounds, odds are that you have heard Savion Wright singing. Wright, a junior from Jasper, is a multi-talented musician and singer who said he has always had music in his life.

“Music is a big part of my family,” Wright said. “All of my brothers and sisters sing and play at least one instrument. I kind of had to outdo them all and play every instrument that they played plus one more.”
