Anne Wilson

by Katelyn Gomez

In this article, we will be discussing why Anne Wilson became a singer. When Anne was 15 years old her brother Jacob who was 23 years old died in a car accident on June 7th. It was one of the hardest times for her and her family. So 3 days after her brother passed away she was playing the piano and singing and her mom walked in and told Anne ‘’ I want you to sing at your brother's funeral’’. So on the day of the funeral, Anne was singing ‘’What a Beautiful Name’’  and all of her family was amazed at how beautiful she was singing. And that is when she discovered that she could sing. So she started writing a song and the first song of her singing career was “ My Jesus’’. And it broke out in a single year! And she got an award for her song. So she started writing more and more songs like ‘’ Seventh of June’’ and ‘’ Living Water’’. One day they interviewed Anne and asked her why she started singing. And she said when her brother died she was so broken but she learned to have faith and that It was going to be okay because God is always with us and he will never leave us. And the album “ My Jesus’’ was for her brother. And now she has another album called “ Rebel” and she has had 220 shows across 46 states and has been on 9 tours! And I have been blessed to go to 2 concerts this year and meet her in person with my friends!
