US-based Australian songwriter WILSN is quickly proving to be an artist to watch ahead of the release of her new EP in 2019.
The Melbourne artist, who has re-located to Nashville, recently signed with booking agency ICM Partners (Migos, Nicki Minaj, Chaka Khan) and Empire Distribution (Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak) for the forthcoming release.
The EP also features collaborations with a number of established writers, including fellow Aussie and Grammy-nominated songwriter, Ben Abraham (Kesha, Demi Lovato).
It follows WILSN's 2015 EP, Don't Give It Up, which has racked up over 1.2 million streams on Spotify.
Speaking to The Music, WILSN opened up on her move from Melbourne to Nashville.
"Nothing can shake my love for Melbourne, it’s my home town and I’ll always be drawn back here," she said.
"There are a few key differences between the two cities though, they don’t call Nashville 'music city' for nothing. It’s home to some of the greatest and most successful songwriters in the world.
"There are writing rooms everywhere, and there are songwriting sessions happening all day, every day. And not just in country music, but in pop, americana, folk, rock, soul, you name it!
"The songwriting industry is so prolific and buzzing over there and I feel like the Australian music industry is only just catching on. The amount of musicians I met and their level of talent was pretty astounding too! But for general day-to-day living though... nothing beats Australia!"
