She began singing young, learning by ear and developing a natural instinct for harmony through family car journeys. Laura won BBC Songs of Praise Young Chorister of the Year as a teenager, which led to national performances and recording opportunities, including being in the classical-crossover group All Angels. She later trained at the Royal College of Music, building the technique and stamina needed for a long career. Alongside concerts and recordings, Laura is closely associated with stadium anthems and ceremonial performances, and she supports the growth of women’s sport through music.Episode summaryIn this episode of The Variety Show, Adam Sternberg talks with singer Laura Wright about the early moments that shaped her voice, from harmonising in the car as a child to performing in high-pressure live settings. Laura shares how winning Young Chorister of the Year opened doors to broadcast performances and major opportunities, then led into All Angels and eventually formal training at the Royal College of Music. They discuss nerves and breath control, what happens when live performances go wrong, and how emotion and grief can affect the voice over time. Laura also explains how her love of sport became part of her career, from singing at landmark matches to supporting women’s sport, and she reflects on fame, reviews, and staying grounded.00:00 Intro to Laura Wright00:01:04 Early memories of singing, harmonies, and musical upbringing00:04:10 The moment Laura realised singing could move people emotionally00:07:40 Young Chorister of the Year and the first big break00:12:25 Nerves, breath...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JHRDqil-H1p__PcBxkFKeWgvmzANKXqZzhsKiqUP0gc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mODc5/NmZkY2I4Nzk5OWNi/MjFiNDFhNzY5MTNi/NzI1Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
