Artist BIO

D.S. Wilson is a Top 25 Charting Artist currently residing in Seattle, WA and specializing in Saxophones and Keyboards.

With the release of his third solo album “Skyline” released in early 2023 and 40-50 performances per year, Top 25 charting artist/producer D.S. Wilson has rapidly burst into the Smooth/Contemporary Jazz scene.

Wilson’s first two self-produced albums “Stella Rose” (2019) and “Saxuality” (2021) captured the attention of SmoothJazz.com and in 2022, their promotional efforts combined with Gorov Music Marketing, have propelled D.S. Wilson consistently into the Billboard, RadioWave, SmoothJazzNetwork and SmoothJazz.com Top 100 charts.

Shortly after teaming up with SmoothJazz.com, D.S. Wilson attended the 2022 and 2023 Dave Koz Jazz Cruises where he was a finalist in the talent competition both years. Wilson also met artist/producer Adam Hawley and they began co-producing songs for the album “Skyline”, featuring two-time Grammy winner Mel Brown, Eric Valentine, Adam Hawley and Carnell Harrell. The Skyline album landed at #22 in the SmoothJazz.com Top 100 Album Chart for 2023, and was twice featured by Dave Koz in his weekly radio show on SiriusXM-Watercolors.

Leveraging the momentum from his Skyline Album, Wilson teamed up with Grammy-winning producer Jeff Carruthers as well as multi-hit artist/producer Steve Oliver to complete work on his fourth album entitled “Metamorphosis”, which was released in 2025 and generated a #1 hit on the Top 100 Streaming Chart and a third feature on the Dave Koz weekly radio show on SiriusXM-Watercolors.

Wilson is currently completing work on his fifth album “Arrival” with producer Jeff Carruthers, which is scheduled for release in late 2027. The first single from the album entitled “Gates of Eden” was Wilson’s second #1 hit on the Top 100 Streaming Chart and also landed in the Billboard Top 100 for 12 consecutive weeks.

D.S. Wilson’s musical roots began in jazz, but has played and released multiple albums in various genres including rock, pop and blues. He started playing in rock bands in the '80s and didn't stop until well into the new millennium, logging hundreds of performances. In between then and now he won the North Carolina Battle of the Bands, was awarded a scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and worked with Grammy-nominated producer John Custer on his band, Dolo's, self-titled album in the late '90s. It wasn't until after Dolo dissolved that D.S. Wilson decided to transition back to his jazz roots as a solo artist.
