Renowned Soulful & Captivating Vocalist LIZZ WRIGHT is known for her mesmerizing voice that effortlessly blends Jazz, Gospel, and R&B influences into a unique musical tapestry. Through an inimitable voice the NEW YORK TIMES touts as, "a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather," Wright sings with a soaring reflection of America. At the age of 22, Wright made a name for herself as a vocalist with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday, where her poised performance stole the show. At 23, her debut album 'Salt' hit #2 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Chart. Her subsequent albums ('Dreaming Wide Awake', 'The Orchard', 'Fellowship', 'Freedom & Surrender') continued to top the charts with 'Dreaming Wide Awake' peaking at #1. In 2022, Lizz released the album 'Holding Space', a brilliant live album capturing a Berlin, Germany concert in 2018. "Spellbinding jazz of soulful intimacy..." raves THE GUARDIAN.

"Freedom & Surrender' presents Ms. Wright as the substantial talent she is and in the warm, stylish spotlight she deserves," says the WALL STREET JOURNAL. "Wright translates with phenomenal fluency between inner awareness and outward demonstration, individual seeking and conscious communion, ecstasy and empathy," says NPR.
