Chely Wright & Lauren Blitzer

At a young age, Chely Wright already had quite a fascination for music. A good portion of this would be due to the times she spent singing along with her parents, who were huge fans of the country genre. A few years later, Wright learned how to play the trumpet and piano and even worked on her vocals by performing with singing groups. Suffice to say, these experiences ultimately became the first set of investments she made for her career.

Wright got her first big shot to fame in 1997 thanks to her hit record Shut Up and Drive. Since then, the musician has released other albums such as Lifted off the Ground, I Am the Rain, and Revival. Still, it goes without saying that Wright’s greatest success took place outside the music industry. That would be when she met Sony Music’s marketing director Laurent Blitzer in 2010. A year later, the two finally got married.
