Bio
Influenced by a wide range of vocalists from Donny Hathaway to Fred Hammond, singer and songwriter Brian Courtney Wilson has an up-to-date 21st century approach to modern gospel that might be termed “urban inspirational.” Wilson, a University of Illinois graduate, began singing formally in the university’s black chorus. After graduating Wilson relocated to Houston where he worked for a pharmaceutical company while singing and writing songs for Windsor Village United Methodist Church’s Sunday services. He was later discovered when some of his songs were played on local radio stations. Wilson released his first album in 2009. His hit songs “All I Need” and “Already Here” have won Wilson critical acclaim as both a Stellar Award winner and Dove Award nominee. Now Wilson is taking his singing and songwriting talent to center stage on his first live album, “Worth Fight For.”
