About Me

Wilson Wong enrolled in a beginning guitar class in college, and his love of playing guitar grew. His sound combines folk, blues, country, bluegrass, and rock with lyrics ranging from Asian American themes to confessions of a young man in his twenties discovering himself. He’s still working on his craft and strives to keep growing as an artist. Wilson is a regular at the open mic scene and does the occasional coffee shop gig. He was a 2007 and 2008 APAture artist and a guest artist for the SF Streetside Storytelling Afterschool Program. Not bad for something who just picked up guitar five years ago.
