Aaron Aplus Wilson

Aaron Aplus Wilson is a drummer that keeps the beat right in the pocket.  Aaron has some impressive skills with the sticks and he has the funkiest kick drum beats around.  Aaron comes from a very talented, musical family and he's been surrounded by good harmony his whole life.  According to his website, Aaron has been playing drums since the age of 3. Having a father that was a professional bass player/quartet singer and a mother that is a professional gospel/R&B singer, Aaron had no choice but to be musically inclined. At the age of 10, he recorded his first album with Rev. Byrd and "The Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church Choir" and at age 13, Aaron recorded with "Joanna Williams & The Spiritual Rejoicers."
Aaron went on to middle school where he played the drums and sang for the South View Middle School Chorale under the direction of Mr. Stanley Butts. As a teen, Aaron played for many local choirs. Since then, he has played for and/or shared the stage with gospel artists such as John P. Kee, Chicago Mass Choir, Canton Spirituals, Bryan Wilson (who is also my brother), New Direction, Dorinda Clark,Tye Tribbett and even Shirley Murdock.  There is no genre that Aaron Aplus Wilson cant, won't, or haven't tapped into yet.  Aaron also had the opportunity to play at the HOUSE of BLUES with the daughter of the Legendary B.B.King (Shirley King), which that experience was one of his most highest.  It also led him to play at the Legendary Buddy Guy's in Chicago.  Aaron had an article written on him while playing for Deak Harp Blues Band (www.icbluesclub.org).
Howl-N-Madd and I also had the pleasure of working with Aaron in Champaign, IL at WEFT 90.1FM with Dave Wright.
