EXCLUSIVE- MW Sits Down with Grammy Award Nominee Anita Wilson
We are literally hours away from music’s biggest night…The 55th Annual Grammy Awards. All week long parties and gala’s have been going on in Los Angeles in preparation for the biggest weekend of the year in music. AllThingsMW sat down for a quick chat with the now Grammy Award Nominated Anita Wilson. Anita’s album “Worship Soul” released in 2012 is one of this year’s Best Gospel Album nominees. Since its release Anita has been all over the country spreading the message of Worship Soul and has achieved much success. Aside from the Grammy Nomination, Anita was a multiple stellar Award nominee at the 2013 Stellar Awards and performed on the show. Anita is now preparing to record her follow up album but in the mean time Anita’s enjoying her journey.
MW: Worship Soul is about to have its one year Anniversary and you’ve been around the world spreading this message, looking back to a year ago how do you feel?
I feel incredibly grateful. When releasing my debut solo project I don’t know what to expect. For all I know it could have been sitting on shelves collecting dust. So to see the positive feedback about Worship Soul less than 12 months later is amazing. I’m humbled by the testimonies and the support!
MW: This album was unique and different and you allowed us to experience your musical taste. Were you nervous in the beginning at how people would receive you as a solo artist?
Absolutely I was! Lol. I know that it presented a different sound which was the middle of the raid between traditional and contemporary. It was always my prayer to balance both sounds while allowing all of my influences to shone through here or there. But what was most important for me was to offer music that the listener could feel in their hearts and souls, and be inspired and led to God’s presence. This is my continual prayer for this and every project that I present.
MW: You’ve been nominated for Stellar Awards and now you are heading to the Grammy’s because you are nominated for “Best Gospel” album. How does that feel knowing that your first album out the gate received a Grammy nomination?
Mind blowing! Debut projects are kind of a shot in the dark. You never know what to expect! So to be a new artist obtaining nominations is a very rewarding feeling. Being here in L.A. as a Grammy Nominee has been so inspiring! It’s Music’s Biggest Night! And my project is among those recognized?! 
I’m so humbled and grateful! I’m proud of Worship Soul as a whole…so I’m really happy that it is nominated for Best Gospel ALBUM!
I’m so humbled and grateful! I’m proud of Worship Soul as a whole…so I’m really happy that it is nominated for Best Gospel ALBUM! MW: Throughout this journey thus far, what’s the biggest lesson that you have learned?
To always be authentically me. Never attempting to do something outside o my lane. And also to always remain HUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m nothing without God’s Grace!
Follow Anita on Twitter @MsAnitaWilson to stay up to date with everything going on. Anita states that she’s already began work on the second album! She’s recorded new demos and after the Grammy’s she plans on digging into music more and her prayer is simply that she brings the Glory to GOD.
The Gospel category of the Grammy Awards will be presented during the GRAMMY Pre-Show at Grammy.com/Live beginning at 3pm. The Grammy Awards will air on CBS tonight at 8pm EST.

The BUZZ- Marica Chisolm “Simply Worship”
Now I’ve had this album for a little over a week and its one that I can’t stop singing and playing. Let me first just say this one of the most celebrated Praise and Worship leaders. Her ministry is rapidly growing and expanding. Personally she is one of my favorite altos because she is one of those singers that will give it all she has and leave it all on the stage. I’m speaking of none other than…MARICA CHISOLM. Her buzz singles “Hallelujah To The King” and “Used” have continued to sweep the nation, and now it’s time for her debut album “Simply Worship”.
Simply Worship was recorded live at Greater Victory Christian Center and it was truly an experience. The power and presence was so heavy in the room. Marica’s heart of worship is all over this album as she delivers each song effectively. The album is an experience that leaves you longer for more. She stay’s true to herself and is not afraid to be who she is musically. Her voice will remind you of Judith Christie McAllister when she digs deep but yet she has her own style and tone.
There’s so much more that I can say about this album BUT I’ve got something special…check out snippets HERE
iPod Favorites: “Hallelujah To The King”, “Desperation”, So In Love”
“Simply Worship” is available now on all digital Digital Outlets.
