One of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson is a revolution in modern music. The Lexington, Ky. native, known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling, recently released her new single, “God Story.” Her last album, REBEL, featured her hopeful, healing debut Country single “Rain In The Rearview” as well as her chart-topping Christian radio ballad “Strong.” The genre-bending album followed her GRAMMY-nominated 2022 debut “My Jesus,” with the title track becoming a PLATINUM-certified No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. Since then, Wilson has tallied over 1 Billion global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut, and wrapped her entirely sold-out headlining My Jesus Tour. Already named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch, one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, and a 2024 Opry Next Stage Artist, she has made high-profile appearances on TODAY and ACM Honors, while earning her first-ever CMT Music Awards nomination, as well as a Billboard Music Award. Unapologetically real, Wilson approaches her craft with a purpose and conviction that sets her apart, declaring, “I am who I am — I’m Anne Wilson. I love God and that’s my everything, but I love Country music, too, and I can have a beautiful mix of both.”
