Singer/songwriter Anne Wilson knows the healing power of music. The lyrics of Hillsong Worship’s “What A Beautiful Name” became a lifeline for the Lexington, Kentucky native after her brother was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 23. Although she spent much of her childhood behind a piano, Wilson sang in front of an audience for the first time at her brother’s funeral. It was at that moment that she realized what she was born to do. A video of her moving performance organically circulated, eventually landing her a record deal. With a mesmerizing voice and a visible hunger for Jesus, the 20-year-old relies on personal journal entries and time spent in nature for songwriting inspiration.
The Capitol CMG artist and songwriter Anne Wilson continues to make history with her chart-topping debut album, My Jesus, which has claimed the number one spots on the Billboard Top Christian & Gospel Albums, Billboard, Top 200 Christian & Gospel, and landed Top 10 on the Billboard Album Sales chart. The album has also made recent CCMG history, scoring the biggest debut week in over 15 years by a Capitol Christian Music Group-signed new artist
In addition to topping the Billboard Christian & Gospel albums charts, Wilson’s My Jesus dominated in other categories – placing within the Top 8 on the following charts: Billboard Internet Album, Billboard’s Digital Album, Billboard’s Current Digital Albums, Billboard’s Current Albums Sales, Billboard’s Top Albums, and Billboard’s Album Sales. She also just landed her first career RIAA Gold Certification for her hit single
“I never would’ve dreamed I’d be releasing a record to the world and it going number one in the first week,” says Wilson. “God is so faithful and I’m just blown away by His goodness! All Glory to God. Here’s to all He will continue to do through this project!”
