Born and raised in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, Anna Wilson was exposed to music from a young age by her mother, a talented pianist with affection for show tunes and the fluid melodies of Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and George Gershwin. In developing songs for Time Changes Everything, Wilson combined the nostalgic sounds of her mother’s music with her contemporary pop sensibilities and jazz influenced vocals to form a unique and mature composite style.
The album’s 14 original songs showcase Wilson’s dexterity as both a singer and songwriter illustrating her love of standards, while remaining true to her Gen X experience. Collaborating with veteran composers Monty Powell, Jeff Franzel and Scarlet Keys, Anna Wilson’s "Time Changes Everything" delivers a sonically masterful collection of modern-day life and love-lessons.
