Early life

Wilson was born on September 23, 1975, in Newark, New Jersey, the daughter of Bishop Nathaniel Simmons and his wife Ruby. Bishop Simmons started Sounds of Praise Pentecostal Fellowship Ministries, Inc., and was the pastor of St. Paul's Church, yet he died in 1999. Her brother, Glenn, was supposed to take over the helm of the choir, but he died in 1992. Her father asked her to take over and lead the church's choir, which she did, instead of pursuing an occupation in the cosmetology field. She has another brother, Bishop Wayne Andre', and two sisters, Stacey and Takesha.
