Biography

Possessing the kind of voice that stops you in your tracks, WILSN makes classic soul music with a contemporary approach and a healthy dose of raw power. 
 Originally hailing from Geelong, WILSN moved to Melbourne out of high school after being accepted to study Jazz at the city's prestigious Victorian College of the Arts. Having spent her life looking up to classic soul and jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin, she would pen songs that celebrated the rich history of soul, while injecting her own personality and attitude into each track. After moving to the states and spending two years in writing rooms with Grammy Award winning writers honing her craft, WILSN was asked to join The Teskey Brothers on their 2019 UK/Europe tour –playing to sold out crowds across the continent. Moving back home to Melbourne at the start of 2020 she began recording anew with producer Stephen Charles (BLESSED, Tyne-James Organ). Her debut album, Those Days Are Over has all the hallmarks of an instant classic. Featuring singles ‘Those Days Are Over’, ‘Hurts So Bad’ - a duet with The Teskey Brothers’ front man Josh Teskey - ‘Tell Me’, ‘You Know Better’, ‘Me Or Her’ and ‘If You Wanna Love Me’, the record is an exciting fusion of modern soul, pop, jazz and Motown, together with production that is both nostalgic and contemporary. WILSN's lived experience is poured into each song and delivered effortlessly through her jaw-dropping vocal performances.
