”When I came out, people refused to believe I was a man because of how “feminine” I presented for 18 years,” he says.
Back in 2018, Jamie Wilson was making waves as a rising folk-pop musician and fresh-faced model, gracing the latest cover of Candy magazine and starring in ads for the bold men’s underwear brand 2(x)ist.
But beyond his work in music and fashion, he’s also an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. As a proud transgender man, Jamie uses his platform to connect with hundreds of thousands of followers on Facebook and Instagram, openly sharing his journey and experiences.
“Music has the power to bring people outside of the community into the community,” he told New York Times, emphasizing how his art serves as a bridge for understanding and inclusion.
About a year into his transition, Jamie Wilson took to Facebook to share before-and-after photos—some shirtless—that quickly went viral, amassing an astonishing 13 million views. The post caught the attention of celebrities, with actress Ruby Rose remarking that he was “looking like a young Channing Tatum,” while rapper Lil Wayne simply commented, “Wow.”
”That’s when it really picked up,” Wilson said.
After two years of dedication and hard work, Jamie has fully transformed into the man he has always been at heart.
