Wilson Raps, born Garrett Wilson, is a hip-hop musician from Marietta, Ohio. His music defies the usually very set boundary between party rap and lyrical hip-hop, all while portraying positivity influenced by truth. Wilson's music career started at age thirteen (2008) when he started playing bass for a few southeastern Ohio bands. His live instrumentalist run ended in 2013 after some personal disputes with fellow bandmates that dealt with conflicting morals. Wilson has always been into acoustic alternative performances, playing at coffee shops and venues around the area under his birth name with a sound that's heavily influenced by Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and John Mayer. After some failed attempts at new band start-ups, Wilson decided to try his hand in the hip-hop realm at age 17 and immediately fell in love with the culture. Initially not the biggest fan of rap, Wilson indulged himself in the genre while researching the rich history and never turned back. His overall goalwith his music is to create an entire new sound by turning the usually negative-themed scene into something that thrives off of positive energy and good vibes. Breyer White is his engineer for all projects.
