Monk Wilson

Monk Wilson’s distinctive mixture of folk music and overall performance poetry originated over some 2 decades of experimentation before the 1997 launch of his debut Compact disc, Hillbillys and Gypsys. Wilson started his musical profession like a 12-year-old kid drummer for any rock-band. The music group was too intense for his parents’ likes, therefore the budding vocalist/songwriter started to study classical guitar. As a guy in Austin, TX, he started to develop an visual theory that focused round the minimalist idea that “silence may be the ideal audio and space in music is really as critical as will be the records.” This musical mysticism gained him the nickname that could stay with him throughout his profession: Monk. Later on, Wilson spent a couple of years in folk-besotted Boston, tinkering with a poetry group known as Stone Soup. The decision of family existence prompted Wilson to reject his starving musician lifestyle — he previously spent years sleeping in deserts, barns, and unlocked vehicles — and undertake a more profitable career being a visible musician in San Antonio, TX. It had been not really until Wilson was uncovered by Tangible Information that he made a decision to go back to his music.
