After singer Anne Wilson released her new song, "My Jesus," this past summer, she has become well known.
The song has hit #1 on the Christian music billboard charts.
Anne Wilson is the cowriter of the song with Christian song writer, Matthew West, and Jeff Pado, who is a music producer.
Anne said, "I've been blown away by how God has been using "My Jesus" to impact so many lives. I'm so honored that He chose me to be His vessel for this specific time and season. My favorite part so far has been seeing people sing "My Jesus" at shows to the top of their lungs and hearing stories of how they've been impacted by the song; I would've never dreamed that God would use this song in such a mighty way."
Anne Wilson grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, where she loved playing music, mostly on the piano. She sang for the first time in front of a live audience at the age of 15. But unfortunately that was for her brother's funeral, as he had been killed in a car accident
when he was 23 years old. On that terrible day she sang, "What a Beautiful Name," which is one of the popular songs by Hillsong.
Anne later made a video of the song with a few of her friends and put it on YouTube. "This song is dedicated to the loving memory of my beloved big brother, Jacob. Thank
you, Jacob, for always encouraging us to praise God, work hard, and always be kind. We love and miss you more each and every day."
The YouTube video that Anne and her friends made was seen by a producer in Nashville, which lead to Anne working with Capital Christian Music.
Brad O'Donnell and Hudson Plachy, copresidents of Capital Christian Music said, "The unprecedented success of "My Jesus" is just the beginning and we cannot wait to see what is to come for Anne."
Anne Wilson has worked very hard in the last few years to strengthen her singing voice and work on her song writing.
Despite Anne being amazed by all the success of her song, "My Jesus," she said, "It's been a whirlwind of emotions, just thankfulness and gratefulness, watching God take my story, which was something so broken, and turning it into something so beautiful."
Anne Wilson is now on tour with Big Daddy Weave and is also working on a few new songs that she is writing for her new upcoming album that is coming out next year sometime.
