One of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson, is a revolution in modern music. The Lexington, Ky. native known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling recently released REBEL, fusing the heart of Contemporary Christian Music with the sound of Country. A bold musical statement with a bolder message of faith, REBEL features her hopeful, healing debut Country single “Rain In The Rearview” and chart-topping Christian radio ballad “Strong.” The genre-bending album follows her GRAMMY-nominated 2022 debut My Jesus, with the title track becoming a PLATINUM-certified No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. Since then, Wilson has tallied over 900M global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut, and wrapped her entirely sold-out headlining My Jesus Tour. Already named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch, one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, and a 2024 Opry NextStage Artist, she has made high-profile appearances on TODAY and ACM Honors while earning her first-ever CMT Music Awards nomination, as well as a Billboard Music Award. Unapologetically honest, Wilson approaches her craft with a purpose and conviction that sets her apart, declaring, “I am who I am — I’m Anne Wilson. I love God, and that’s my everything, but I love Country music, too, and I can have a beautiful mix of both.”

 

REBEL on the charts:
● No. 1 Billboard Top Christian Album

Critical acclaim for REBEL:

● Holler – “Anne Wilson is a genre-blender in the truest, most artistically satisfying meaning of the word.”
● Grammy.com – “The 16-song project hits the bullseye between contemporary Christian and Country twang.”
● Billboard – “sonically and thematically, the album stitches together the threads tying Country and Christian music.”
● MusicRow – “set to become a cherished addition to the libraries of fans of both genres.”
● The Tennessean – “A fresh-faced, 22-year-old country music ingenue sings about Jesus Christ with folk-aimed soul and countrified pop passion akin to the shouting required to knock down the Walls of Jericho in the Old Testament’s Book of Joshua.”
● Forbes – “REBEL is a tribute, not only to her ability to write songs, but to tackle various topics and different styles of music.”

Exploring the Rich Cultural Tapestry of Sarawak’s Diverse Tribes.

Nestled on the island of Borneo, Sarawak is a land of breathtaking natural beauty and unparalleled cultural diversity. At the heart of this diversity lies the vibrant tapestry of its indigenous tribes, each with its own unique traditions, languages, and customs.

From the majestic Iban, renowned for their prowess in headhunting and longhouse communities, to the graceful Bidayuh, guardians of the land’s ancient wisdom, Sarawak’s tribes offer a glimpse into a world steeped in history and tradition. The Orang Ulu, with their intricate beadwork and soul-stirring music, and the Melanau, skilled seafarers and master craftsmen, add further layers to this rich cultural mosaic.

But it’s not just the individual customs that make Sarawak’s tribes remarkable; it’s the spirit of unity and mutual respect that binds them together. Despite their differences, these tribes share a deep connection to the land and a profound reverence for nature—a connection that has sustained them for generations.

As visitors, we have the privilege of immersing ourselves in this rich cultural heritage, whether by attending a traditional ceremony, sampling indigenous delicacies, or simply listening to the stories of elders passed down through the ages. In doing so, we not only gain a deeper appreciation for Sarawak’s tribes but also contribute to the preservation of their invaluable heritage for generations to come.
