Anne Wilson Presents 'My Jesus' Live Acoustic on Maasbach Radio, 'Your Grief is Never Wasted'
Singer/songwriter Anne Wilson knows the healing power of music firsthand. With Massbach Radio, Wilson shared the story behind "My Jesus." Wilson's introductory track, "My Jesus"-which she co-wrote with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West-is a warm invitation to experience her Savior in the same intimate way she knows Him.
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 in 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 19-year-old relies on personal journal entries and time spent in nature for songwriting inspiration. Her rootsy sound reflects her strong southern upbringing and her admiration for country royalty like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton married with the heart-on-your-sleeve transparency of Steffany Gretzinger and Lauren Daigle.
She's currently working on a debut three-track single-also titled My Jesus-for Capitol Christian Music Group. Learn more about Anne Wilson at www.annewilsonofficial.com.
