Lady Wray
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Like most artists, Nicole Wray's life in music has always reflected her real life. As a fifteen-year-old in Virginia, she auditioned for Missy Elliot in her mother's home. Even then, with her voice so full and arresting — Missy signed her on the spot. Later, in 1998, merely two years after that tryout, she had a debut solo album and a single that smashed up radio and TV, quickly going gold. But back then — young and unsure — Nicole was essentially following someone else's lead, signing the lyrics they wrote for her and in the way they wanted them sung.
Fast forward to now, and after a few fits and starts with other labels and projects, you'll find a very different Nicole Wray. Today, she's a mother, a wife, and living for herself and her family. So naturally, this evolution followed into her music: she sings how she wants to, expertly writing lyrics for herself and others. To hear her tell it, these things — and most importantly, an unflinching self-belief — that help lead a young and raw Virginian singer named Nicole to become Lady Wray.
