Lady Wray at YBG Festival

Opening Set from Sundra Manning

Nurtured in church, selected by Missy Elliott to launch her new label and now soaring into new musical realms, Lady Wray is a soul powerhouse making music on her own terms. As Nicole Wray she scored a top-five Billboard Hot 100 single while still a teenager, earning a gold record with “Make It Hot,” the title track of her debut album produced by Elliot and Timbaland. She’s been Lady Wray ever since, a regal title she wears with grace. Combining an almighty voice, revelatory lyrics, and a magnetic stage persona, the singer-songwriter continues to elevate her artistry while pushing the boundaries of soul and R&B. Lady Wray’s music reflects her appreciation for her family, her faith, and her renewed love for herself—all of which drive her acclaimed fourth album, 2025’s Cover Girl.
