Laura Wright

A regular at major sporting events, Laura Wright is the official anthem singer for the England Rugby team and a leading figure representing the fusion of music and sport.

Born in 1990, she won the Radio 2 Chorister of the Year at the tender age of just 15. This resulted in performances around the country, including the soloist role in John Rutter’s Requiem at St. Paul’s Cathedral, and was the beginning of what would become an amazing career.

Laura was part of the female vocal quartet All Angels, who were signed to Universal and launched in 2006. She recorded three albums with the band, the first of which was the fastest selling classical album of all time and was awarded a Platinum disc. Total album sales reached over a million and All Angels were nominated for a Classical Brit Award for Album of the Year in 2007. 

In 2011, Laura struck out on her own to record her debut solo album. The Last Rose, released by Decca Records, topped the Classical Charts for several weeks as well as entering the Pop Album Charts top 10. The album has sold over 2.5 million copies to-date and in 2011 made Laura Wright one of the biggest selling classical artists in the UK. 

In the middle of recording sessions for her album The Last Rose in 2011, Laura also managed to run the London Marathon in her spare time.

She was heavily involved in the 2015 Rugby World Cup including performances at the World Cup Trophy Tour, Rugby Captain’s dinner, England’s Welcoming Ceremony at Sandhurst, the send off for the England team (alongside Take That and other celebrities) and even scaling the roof of the O2 for a rendition of ‘Jerusalem’ during the world’s biggest projection!

This major performance followed an incredible year for Laura, which also saw her sing at the opening of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games where she debuted her self-penned ‘Invincible’.

Then followed the release of her album, Sound of Strength, accompanied by a groundbreaking music video for Barber’s Agnus Dei which grabbed headlines with its Hunger Games style approach. Sound Of Strength fuses her twin passions – classical music and sport – into a unique sound, emphasising the physical power of music.

As a sportswoman herself, Laura Wright was an ideal choice to perform ‘World in Union’ at the ceremony – combining passion, competitiveness and athletic vocals to stunning effect. She has also performed at the NFL matches, at Rugby League, The Carnegie Challenge Cup Final, WSB Boxing, polo, the Carling Cup Final, The Championship Play-off Final, the FA Cup Final.

She was the first mezzo soprano to perform at the Olympic Stadium and has enjoyed many performances at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, the Royal Opera House, Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, The O2, Twickenham Stadium, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, even The Great Wall of China.

Laura has taken her classical music to a new level with tracks including Puccini’s Nessun Dorma and Barber’s Adagio for Strings, arranged herself and melded to driving beats, with the help of producers Starkey (who has worked with composer Einaudi), Killahurtz and Dan Vinci (who has worked with everyone from Skream, Snoop Dogg and Jesse Ware). Doing so, she created a new sound which melds beauty and power to startling affect.

Coinciding with the EP version earlier the same year, Laura released a groundbreaking music video shot with a brutalist background in London’s renowned Peckham multi-story car park.

She also premiered tracks during the 2014 London Marathon where she stopped on Tower Bridge for a brief performance of William Blake’s Jerusalem to inspire her fellow participants and draw attention to the Nordoff Robbins charity, for which she is an ambassador.

Nominated for a Classical Brit Award, Laura went on to receive the PPL Classical Award at the Nordoff Robbins 02 Silver Clef Awards. Alongside Laura’s role as Ambassador at Nordoff Robbins, Laura is Ambassador of Arthritis Research UK and recently announced as Ambassador for SportsAid.
