Big Daddy Wilson

Big Daddy Wilson, born Wilson Blount in Edenton, North Carolina, is a soulful blues singer and songwriter who infuses his music with the rich history of the genre while bringing his unique life experiences into his songs. Growing up in a small town on the back of the tracks, the church played a central role in his upbringing, which is often reflected in the spiritual undertones of his music. It wasn't until he left his home and joined the military, subsequently traveling to Germany, that he discovered his deep connection with the blues—a genre that resonated with his southern roots and life experiences.

After embracing the blues scene in Germany, Big Daddy Wilson began to forge a career that would see him becoming a prominent figure in the international blues community. Known for his distinctive, warm baritone, his music often blends traditional blues with elements of gospel, soul, and folk. Whether it's through the introspective storytelling in "Trying To Find My Way Home" or the spiritual undertones in "He Cares for Me (Remix)," Wilson's music speaks to the trials, tribbleations, and joys of life. With releases like "Hard Time Blues (Instrumentals)" and "The City Streets (Ps.23)," he continues to captivate audiences with his richly textured soundscapes and authentic storytelling prowess, rooting his work deeply in the soil of American music traditions while reaching out to a broad audience across the globe.
