Nashville, TN (October 24, 2022)
Capitol CMG artist and songwriter Anne Wilson took home two awards at the 53rd annual GMA Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for her breakthrough single “My Jesus.” Making a splash at her first-ever Dove Awards appearance, the evening brought Wilson’s touching performance of “My Jesus” to center stage. Wilson then enlisted the help of Hillsong Worship‘s Brooke Ligertwood for a poignant rendition of “What A Beautiful Name” in honor of her late brother, Jacob Wilson, as his photos filled the screen behind her.

The coveted Dove Award wins come on the heels of a recent announcement of Wilson’s first-ever American Music Award nomination for Favorite Inspirational Artist. The 2022 American Music Awards will air live from Microsoft Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. EST/PST on ABC.

Wilson’s new single “Hey Girl,” which Billboard notes “further heightens her country ties” is an uplifting, energetic anthem connecting with fans across the country. Since its release, “Hey Girl” hit No. 1 on the TikTok Country playlist with 8.2M views on TikTok. Wilson had a multitude of fans join her for the making of the official “Hey Girl” music video, which was released in September, in support of the “Hey Girl” movement. Wilson has now launched Hey Girl Nation as a community for her fans to connect, encourage self confidence and remind members of their self-worth.
