Gary Wilson is an avant-garde musician and performance artist known for his idiosyncratic approach to music and his exploration of themes such as love, heartbreak, and obsession. Born on October 1953 in Endicott, New York, Wilson's fascination with jazz, pop, and experimental music took root early on. He gained underground acclaim with his 1977 album, "You Think You Really Know Me," which became a cult classic thanks to its lo-fi aesthetic, strange synthesizer sounds, and off-kilter subject matter.

His career experienced a significant renaissance in the early 2000s when he was rediscovered by a new generation that appreciated his unique musical legacy. This resurgence saw Wilson releasing new material that continued to expand on his distinctive blend of jazz, lounge, funk, and experimental music. His subsequent albums, like "The King of Endicott" and "Let's Go to Outer Space," exhibit him delving into his signature themes with a mix of earnestness and surreal humor. Gary Wilson stands as a true original, an artist who creates his own world of music and performance, indemitable in his vision and endlessly fascinating to fans of outsider and experimental music.
