BIOGRAPHY

Born in Louisville, raised in Oklahoma City, and a part-time resident of Chicago, Wesley Mathias Wilson is well acquainted with the sounds of the south and the smells of the city. As a young boy, Wes cut his teeth on old Jackson Browne and John Prine records passed down from his daddy. Through the years, he has developed a style that is an unique to himself yet familiar to most everyone: songs of heartbreak, hope, and longing for home. He's sincere to the core and sexy as hell. Wesley Mathias Wilson is a modern day troubadour.
