Lizz Wright is an American singer and songwriter, born in 1980 in Hahira, Georgia. Her music combines jazz, gospel, soul, blues, folk, and R&B, shaped by her church background in rural Georgia. Apple Music describes her as a singer with a full contralto voice who came up in church before making her commercial breakthrough with Salt in 2003.
Important albums include Salt, Dreaming Wide Awake, The Orchard, Fellowship, Freedom & Surrender, Grace, Holding Space: Lizz Wright Live in Berlin, and Shadow. Well-known songs include “Hit the Ground,” “My Heart,” “A Taste of Honey,” “Dreaming Wide Awake,” “Grace,” “Wash Me Clean,” “Root of Mercy,” “Sweet Feeling,” and “Afro-Blue.” Deezer and Amazon Music list many of these albums and tracks on her artist pages.
She is known for her warm, deep voice and for connecting spiritual gospel roots with sophisticated jazz and soul arrangements. Her music often feels intimate, reflective, and emotionally grounded, which has made her one of the respected modern voices in vocal jazz and roots-influenced soul.
