Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) announced that singer-songwriter Claire Wright has been signed to an exclusive publishing deal.

Based in Nashville, Wright is a native of Northern California. To create her signature sound of positive music that makes people feel good, Wright’s writing style mixes sunny West Coast vibes, her rural roots and her philosophy that life should be enjoyed. Her influences include Sugar Ray and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Kent Earls, UMPG Nashville Executive Vice President / General Manager, said, “Claire is full of positive light and shares that glow through her songs. It’s very rare to meet someone with such an identity and vision for not only her music but herself. We’re excited to help bring her songs to the world.”

Wright shared, “When I walked into the UMPG Nashville building for the first time, I knew there was something special about to happen. They understood my songs and my vision in a really refreshing way. They are a massive powerhouse in the publishing world yet when you walk into the office, it’s like coming home. I look forward to making history with these amazing folks!”

Wright is managed by Red Light Management and is represented by CAA.
