Wesley Nilsen

Worship / singer-songwriter

Wesley Nilsen is a singer-songwriter, worship leader and producer from Rosenberg, Texas (originally from Santa Rosa, California). The Lord had his heart from a young age, and gave him the opportunity to begin leading worship at his youth group when he was 14. Around the same time, Wesley began to experiment with writing and producing his own music, which has since developed into a passion for putting God’s Word into song as well as recording and producing many different styles of music. In 2014, Wesley heard God call him to join his church's missionary team on a 2-week trip to Jinja, Uganda to partner with the Church there and impact the lives of children and their families through a sponsorship program. Wesley continued to serve with the team yearly, and 2018 was his fifth year serving on this trip. 2018 was also the year Wesley got involved with People & Songs and The Emerging Sound. Wesley had been following People & Songs' music and ministry since discovering them at the Linger Conference in February 2017, and a little over a year later, through divine appointments, the Lord brought Wesley into the People & Songs community. Now a resident missionary in La Porte, Indiana at the People & Songs and Emerging Sound headquarters, Wesley serves the local churches and community and tours with the group across the country.
