Laura Wright is one of few singers to find critical and commercial success in two traditionally opposed domains: classical and popular music. This gifted songstress shot to fame at the age of fourteen after being named BBC Radio 2’s chorister of the year. She’s since carved out a reputation as one of Britian’s finest vocalists, earning a nomination for a Classical Brit Award and taking home the PPL Classical Award at the Silver Clef Awards.
Early in her career, Wright sung at sports events, NFL matches, the FA Cup Final and the Rugby League at Twickenham.
Her sensational talent and show-stopping performances led to an invitation to compose the first official anthem of the England Women’s Cricket team and become the first Ambassador for the Kia Women’s Cricket League. Wright was invited to perform at Prince Harry’s Inaugural Invictus Games and became a royal favourite, with her Diamond Jubilee song ‘Stronger as One’ earning a mention by Her Majesty the Queen at the Commonwealth Day Message at Westminster Abbey. Wright has had honour of performing more times for Her Majesty than any other artist in one single year.
Aside from her celebrated performances, Wright has released three studio albums, two of which made the UK’s Album chart, while reaching No 1 in the classical charts. Wright has acted as an ambassador to Nordoff Robbins, SportsAid, the Invictus Games and Arthritis Research UK, a cause that’s particularly close to her heart due to experience battling her own medical condition at a young age.
