About Wilsen


Wilsen is the creation of 24-year-old London native Tamsin Wilson. Forged in the burgeoning creative quarters of Brooklyn, Wilsen's fragile, seductive sound sits at odds with the transient cultural moods of her adopted neighbourhood, instead sharing a closer creative affinity with the timeless sonic textures of European dream pop.

Alongside bandmates Johnny Simon Jr and Drew Arndt – both songwriters & producers in their own right – Tamsin Wilson's passion is for the detail; each Wilsen song is tirelessly sculpted over time, building an atmosphere, a mood, a state of mind. Simon Jr's minimalist guitar melodies and Arndt's rhythmic basslines create a platform for the gossamer vocals of Tamsin Wilson, by turns ethereal and earthy, and the rich driving force behind Wilsen's gentle rise.

Schooled at Berklee's College of Music in Boston, Tamsin Wilson's move to the East Coast was a step into the unknown. A shy, unassuming Brit with an ever-growing collection of introspective folk songs to her name, it wasn't until chance meetings with Simon Jr and Arndt at Berklee that the young songwriter was urged to explore her creative muse, immersing herself in the songwriting of Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, & Sufjan Stevens.

"'Magnolia' showcases Wilsen's ability to blend soft, lush vocals with stirring, atmospheric instrumentation impeccably. Wilson's tone manages to remain heart-achingly honest and candid whilst never faltering or losing control due to emotion or the complex, dynamic melody building around her." --Line of Best Fit
