Anne Wilson

Anne Claire Wilson (born February 21, 2002) is an American Christian musician and songwriter. Wilson made her debut in 2021, with the release of the single "My Jesus" through Capitol Christian Music Group. "My Jesus" was Wilson's breakthrough hit, having reached number one on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart and Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. Wilson also released her debut extended play, My Jesus (Live in Nashville) (2021), which reached number twelve on the Top Christian Albums Chart in the United States. She went on to release two Christmas EPs, one in 2021 and the other in 2022 Early life Wilson was born in Lexington, Kentucky to parents Kent and Lynn Wilson. She lived with her parents and two older siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, a fashion designer. Wilson was raised in a Christian home and attended Tates Creek Presbyterian Church throughout most of her childhood. Her family frequently took trips to see her grandparents, who live on a farm in the Kentucky countryside, where she would later film the music video for her song, Seventh of June. Wilson learned to play the piano when she was six years old. As a young girl, she aspired to work for NASA as an astronaut. Throughout most of her childhood, Wilson attended Veritas Christian Academy, a school that her mother helped found. When she was 12 years old, Wilson became a Christian after a pastor named Cameron McDonald came to her school and delivered a moving talk about Jesus. Wilson recalled that McDonald could not say the name "Jesus" once without tearing up. Wilson says that as a young girl, she thought of God as someone who looked down and judged the world, but McDonald's talk showed her that that was not true.On June 7, 2017, Wilson's older brother, Jacob Kent Wilson, was killed in a car crash at the age of 23. Though she was deeply shaken, Wilson says the tragedy brought her "closer to God". She says that she heard God say to her, "Anne, are you going to trust Me, or are you not?" Anne replied with "Jesus, I trust You." When Wilson's parents, who had never heard her sing before, heard her playing piano and singing What A Beautiful Name by Hillsong Worship, they asked her to play at her brother's upcoming funeral, and after careful consideration, Wilson agreed.
