"When I started writing songs for the first time, I knew that I wanted the songs to have a country and southern influence from Kentucky. Lexington will always hold such a special place in my heart and it's one of my favorite places in the world,” Anne said. “Whenever I get the opportunity to go back to our family farm it brings me such a sense of peace and reminds me of all the sweet times I shared there with my brother.”
Wilson's life was forever transformed by the impact of Jacob's passing, as she discovered her voice and musical mission in the days following the tragedy while delivering a heartfelt performance at his funeral. Since then, Wilson has used her God given talent to create music that resonates with millions. She went on to write and release “My Jesus,” the “deeply personal breakout ballad” (Billboard) that catapulted her to massive success, quickly being named ASCAP's 2022 Christian Music Awards Song of the Year, reaching Spotify's Viral 50, the Shazam Top 200, and Rolling Stone's Top 25 trending charts. The follow-up to her introductory track was her GRAMMY-nominated, 15-song debut album, My Jesus. Rising to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Christian & Gospel Albums and the Top 200 Christian and Gospel charts upon release, the record-breaking debut has amassed her catalog over 600M global career streams to date. This past April, Wilson celebrated her life-changing album with a special edition titled My Jesus (Anniversary Deluxe), featuring two all-new tracks that honored the project in a re-imagined light.
