Wilson grew up in Vienna, Austria, even joining The Voice Kids Germany when he was only 14 years old. Due to his strong, stable vocal skills, fans’ ideal position for him is the lead vocalist. He was in the top 7 several times in previous episodes, but was unable to garner enough public votes in the final round. You can follow Wilson on Tiktok.

In Dream Maker, he performed the same song he used in The Voice Kids, Francis Magalona’s “Kabataan Para sa Kinabukasan”, which carried him into the contest.
