Tomica Wright was born on 7 December 1969, in Los Angeles, California USA, so her zodiac sign is Sagittarius and she holds American nationality. She is the CEO of the Ruthless Records American record label, but is mostly recognised for being the widow of Eric Lynn Wright, who was a famous rapper, better known as Eazy-E.

Early life and education

Tomica was raised in Los Angeles by her parents – her mother was a housewife while her father was a businessman who was rarely around as he was always working hard.

Tomica attended San Fernando Valley high school, and after matriculation enrolled at Santa Monica College where she stayed for two years before switching to West Los Angeles College in Baldwin Hills – she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1992. Tomica grew up listening to rap music and watching movies, and made it her life’s goal at a very early age to become a film producer.

Tomica’s career

Tomica launched her career by working for several premier production houses, however, she didn’t gain any recognition until she started working for Tabu Records as their secretary. The company was founded by Clarence Avant, who is known throughout the US as ‘The Godfather of Black Music’. She and Clarence became very close, and when he moved to Motown Records, he took Tomica with him.

Her venture with Tabu Records and Motown helped her gain experience and improve her skills, which led to her becoming an entrepreneur; she founded her own business, and thinks of Clarence Avant as her mentor.

Tomica was named the CEO of Ruthless Records in 1995, after her husband Eric Lynn Wright passed away. She already had enough knowledge to run the record label, which was just as well as she had to face numerous problems. At first, people did not see Tomica as fit to run it, many of the company’s employees regarding her as too inexperienced. However, to everyone’s surprise, Tomica went on to make the company successful, as she first focused on retaining the in-house artists, then started recruiting new talents.

It took Tomica two years to bring the company to order and start making good money, and she’s credited with Ruthless Records signing various famous artists such as Big Chan, Big Rocc and Chis Tucker, among others. In 1997, she signed a deal with Sony Music which further improved the status of Ruthless Records.

Love life and marriage with Eazy-E

Tomica and Eazy-E met in 1991 at a nightclub in Los Angeles and began dating – they were not planning on marrying as they were both against the belief that two need to sign papers to be happy together.

However, after Eazy-E was diagnosed with AIDS and found out that he had a short amount of time to live, the two decided to marry so that his company would be inherited by Tomica – the wedding took place in 1995 just twelve days before Eazy-E died. Shortly after his death, rumors began circulating the internet that the famous rapper was murdered so that Tomica would inherit his wealth, but this has remained just a conspiracy theory.

Tomica gave birth to two of their children during the year. They first welcomed their son Dominick Wright sometime in the first half of the ‘90s, while their daughter Daijah was born six months after Eazy-E died. It is widely believed that Tomica has a child with another man whom she dated before meeting Eazy-E, but again, there is no confirmation.
