Brian Courtney Wilson Career
In 2012, Wilson undertook two projects simultaneously. First, he released the album “So Proud”. According to amazon.com, Wilson recalls that “The inspiration for this project came three years ago when I penned “So Proud,” the title song and the CD project’s first single.
The song is about remembering … remembering the reasons why you should keep going when the days seem the hardest…remembering your value when people cast you aside…remembering the people who did not give up on you when you feel like giving up on yourself…and most of all, it’s about remembering that the reason we have so much to remember is because God has always been there to make a way through the people in our lives.” The album debuted at No. 1 on the Top Gospel Albums charts, and the singles “So Proud” and “He Still Cares” made their way to radio.
It was also in 2012 that he united with Gospel legend Fred Hammond, Dave Hollister and R&B artist Eric Roberson to make the United Tenors project, which was released in 2013. Cited as the last addition to the group, it was clear once the production began … that Wilson quickly left his fingerprints on the project. In 2015, Wilson signed with Motown Gospel. He later came out with the single “Worth Fighting For”.
