The What If's


Jaguar Wright (born May 17, 1977) is a soul/R&B vocalist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is part of the Okayplayer collective. She has performed along rap acts such as The Roots, Jay-Z, and Blackalicious.

She was brought to the attention of hip-hop group The Roots in 2001, which eventually led to her going to tour with them. She later appeared as a back up singer for Jay-Z in 2001, and appeared in a Coca-Cola advert as part of the brand's 'Nu Soul' campaign.

She has released two solo albums to date - 'Denials, Delusions & Decisions' in 2002, and 'Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul' in 2005. Wright also recorded an album titled '...And Your Point Is?' which was due for release in 2003 on MCA Records (who also distributed her debut), before the label folded. However, many of the tracks recorded for that album later appeared on 'Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul.'

In 2007, two new songs appeared on her MySpace profile. One was a live version of new song 'Sometimes', the other a cover of 'Let's Do It Again'. A further two new songs surfaced in 2009; "Beautiful" and "Surely Shawty", although neither saw an official release.

She has toured every year since her debut album was released. In March 2008, she toured Europe with Bahamadia and Hezekiah for the 'Philly Sounds' tour. Wright did not perform any new material on the tour, but did live cover versions of Cherrelle's 'Saturday Love' and Crystal Waters' 'Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless).' During the tour, she announced that she was in the process of writing a novel, and working on a third album. No release dates have been confirmed for either as yet.

In 2008, she supplied backing vocals for Al Green's album 'Lay It Down.'

In January 2011, Jaguar Wright toured Europe with Lady Alma on the 'Philly Sounds 2011' tour. She revealed that she's working on a third album, due out in the summer of 2011. The lead single from the new album will be called "Switch".
[edit] Personal life

Wright has two children, and is married. She has been involved in a long-running feud with her mother-in-law, who she publicly criticized in the Thank Yous of her debut album. She later went on to state in an interview with Blues&Soul magazine that her mother-in-law was "f**king nuts. Seriously, I think she's a paranoid, delusional schizophrenic."
