Did you know Ann Wilson, the powerhouse voice behind Heart, was initially told she wasn’t pretty enough to make it in rock music? But instead of letting that criticism define her, she used it as fuel, becoming one of the most iconic and soul-stirring vocalists in rock history. Her voice is so powerful that it can cut through the loudest guitar riffs and leave you in awe. Songs like ‘Barracuda’ and ‘Crazy on You’are pure proof of that.

Here’s something jaw-dropping: Ann was self-taught on guitar and piano, yet her talent was so undeniable that she helped shape Heart’s sound from the ground up. Her four-octave range and bluesy intensity not only inspired generations of singers but also set a new standard for women in rock.

And did you know Ann Wilson was also a trailblazer when it came to songwriting. She co-wrote many of Heart’s biggest hits and was ahead of her time in an era when women in rock were few and far between. Ann didn’t just break barriers she obliterated them, showing the world that talent, passion, and heart would always come first.
