Today we’d like to introduce you to Annie Wilson.
Annie, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My name is Annie Wilson, and I am a musician, worship leader, and singer/songwriter who is passionate about creating new music through storytelling. I desire to create music that points people back to the heart of worship: Jesus. Music that doesn’t simply entertain but ministers. That doesn’t just trend but transforms.
I write songs with the hope that they uplift people and remind them who they are and whose they are.
I have always had a passion for music. No matter where I am or what I am doing, I constantly have a tune playing in my head. It is like a non-stop radio in my mind. My vocal teachers were always surprised when I would come in with different genres of songs to learn for the week. To this day, I enjoy all types of music, and if you ask me, there is always a song stuck in my head. When I started taking classical piano lessons, it became my outlet for letting these tunes loose.
This May, I graduated from The King’s University with a Bachelor in Worship Leadership, and through that program and serving faithfully in church, I have had opportunities to exercise this gift of worship leadership. It took me time to realize that hesitation was never from God — and that fear had no place in my purpose. Although music was my passion, I always doubted my ability and kept my songs to myself. However, there came a point when the Lord confirmed my calling in both music and worship. My purpose is not music. Music is simply the vessel; pure worship is the mission. And now, I’m walking in that calling with boldness, not because I’m confident in myself, but because I’m confident in the One who called me.
I recently released my first single on all streaming platforms!
“No One Else (feat. Canon Herring) – Annie Wilson”
This is a song about seeing breakthroughs in our lives when we seek the Lord first above all else! The lyrics share that there is truly “No One Else’ that guides me the way that God does. He is faithful and good in all seasons, and the hope is that this song will encourage others in that promise!
This season, the Lord has been showing me breakthrough and freedom in both my music and personal life, and I am so happy to share it with the world!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not at all — especially when it came to developing my voice. I didn’t grow up thinking I was a “singer.” I loved music and worship, but I used to stay quiet or sing softly because I didn’t think my voice was strong enough or special enough. I was surrounded by big voices and trained musicians, and for a long time, I let that intimidate me.
It took time — and a lot of encouragement — to develop my voice. Not just technically, but emotionally. I had to stop trying to sound like someone else and start embracing the unique sound God placed inside me. That meant vocal lessons, yes, but also learning how to express myself authentically — unlearning the fear of being heard and being consistent. I had to show up for myself because no one was going to do the work for me!
Now, I’m still growing, and I always will be, but I’ve come to see my voice not as something I need to perfect but as something I need to surrender. Because when I offer it to Him completely, that’s when it carries power — not because of how it sounds, but because of who it points to.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I have heard it said that all songs are some sort of prayer. They might not all be directly to God, but in some way, shape, and form, songs share the desire of one’s heart. A love song shares the desire to be loved and how we seek love from others. When I write music, not all of my songs are considered “worshipful,” but they are honest and centered on God in a way that people can relate to. My music is about expressing the real things we experience in our lives and creating a space for God to move in people’s hearts.
What sets me apart is my refusal to let worship become a platform for me; instead, I desire to keep it centered on Him. I want my music to serve as a bridge — helping people move from distraction or discouragement to a place of surrender and joy in His presence.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Personally, I see worship becoming more global, more diverse, and more united — and that’s exactly where my heart is. I desire to travel and worship in different languages around the world to experience the beauty of how other cultures express their love for Jesus. There’s something so powerful about worship that transcends language — it reminds us that the Church is bigger than our community.
I want to partner with other artists and worshippers from different nations and backgrounds to write music that inspires, unites, and reflects the global heart of God. I believe we’re stepping into a time where collaboration, authenticity, and Kingdom-minded creativity will break down walls — and I’m excited to be part of that movement.
