‘My Jesus’ Singer Anne Wilson Joins Matthew West’s Story House Collective
Christian music hitmaker Anne Wilson has inked a management deal with Matthew West‘s Story House Collective. The company has also brought in Crowd Surf, led by Jade Driver, as a strategic management partner.
During Friday’s (Oct. 21) GMA Dove Awards, Wilson won two trophies, including new artist of the year, while her hit “My Jesus” was named pop/contemporary recorded song of the year. Wilson wrote “My Jesus” with West and Jeff Pardo. The song proved to be a hit, and Wilson became the first female soloist to top Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart with a debut single since the chart’s launch in 2003.
“Our Story House team is thrilled for the opportunity to partner with an artist as remarkable as Anne,” West said via a statement. “I’ve been a believer in her since our very first writing session a few years ago. She’s the real deal. Her talent is undeniable, her story is powerful, and her mission is clear. We are honored to serve her artistic vision and beyond excited to help plot the course for even bigger and better things ahead for her.”
“I’m so excited to announce that I’ve signed with Story House Collective,” Wilson added. “I’ve been blown away by their expertise but also their love for Jesus. So grateful for their hard work and all that’s to come! God is good!”
West has served as a mentor for Wilson and is a co-writer alongside Wilson and Pardo on Wilson’s latest song, “Me on Your Mind.” They also released a duet version of the song earlier this year.
