Mini Bio
Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter Jaguar Wright's name can be added to the list of such Philly-based Soul talents as Grammy award-winning rap band The Roots and multi-platinum hitmakers Jill Scott and Musiq Soulchild. Wright earned rave reviews for her background vocal stint at Jay-Z' MTV Unplugged appearance during December 2001. In February 2002, she began appearing in a national TV ad for Coca Cola. Her energetic stage shows garnered favorable write-ups in The New York Times, The Washington Post and Newsweek; while her recorded material has received thumbs-up reviews in Vibe, Entertainment Weekly & Rolling Stone.
 
Drawing comparisons to her contemporary Mary J. Blige and R&B/rap-roots mother Millie Jackson as well as Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone, Jaguar Wright has worked with everyone from the Roots, James Poyser, Richard Nichols and Scott Storch, to Larry Gold, and Vikter Duplaix. Wright offers an enticing, unique portrait of a young woman trying to find her way through life, through songs that are mesmerizing whether they're biting or beautiful.
