Wilson grew up in Ayr, Ontario. In 1994, she was performing as Annie with Royal City Musical Productions in Guelph.[2] By 1998 she had signed a management deal with Scream Marketing and Christy DiNapoli, a publishing deal with Scream Music Publishing in Nashville,[3] and was working with Reba McEntire.[4] In 2001, she issued two singles as Kortney Kayle on Lyric Street Records, but her debut album never materialized.[5] Her highest charting single was "Unbroken by You", which reached No. 50 in 2001. In 2001, Wilson also made several appearances on the soap opera, One Life to Live.[5] She co-wrote Ryan Tyler's 2003 single "Run, Run, Run", which was also released by Krysta Scoggins.
