WILSN

Possessing the kind of voice that stops you in your tracks, WILSN makes classic soul music with a contemporary approach and a healthy dose of raw power.

Originally hailing from Geelong, WILSN, AKA Shannon Busch, moved to Melbourne out of high school after being accepted to study Jazz at the city's prestigious Victorian College of the Arts. Having spent her life looking up to classic soul and jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin, she would pen songs that celebrated the rich history of soul, while injecting her own personality and attitude into each track.

Upon signing a US publishing deal with Pulse, Busch relocated to America and spent two years in writing rooms with Grammy Award winning writers honing her craft, before being asked asked to join The Teskey Brothers on their 2019 UK/Europe tour –playing to sold out crowds across the continent. Moving back home to Melbourne at the start of 2020 she began recording anew with producer Stephen Charles (BLESSED, Tyne-James Organ).

In February of 2023, WILSN released her debut album, Those Days Are Over, through Ivy League Records in Australia and Virgin Records in the US and UK/EU. Featuring singles ‘Those Days Are Over’, ‘Hurts So Bad’ - a duet with The Teskey Brothers’ front man Josh Teskey - ‘Tell Me’, ‘You Know Better’, ‘Me Or Her’ and ‘If You Wanna Love Me’, the record is an exciting fusion of modern soul, pop, jazz and Motown. WILSN's lived experience is poured into each track and delivered effortlessly through her jaw-dropping vocal performances. With production that is simultaneously nostalgic and contemporary, the record has all the hallmarks of an instant classic.
