If ever the term “music business royalty” applies, it is custom made for Wilson Phillips. Literally born into the music business, Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips were born with vocal harmonies in their DNA. Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Beach Boy legend Brian Wilson, and Chynna is the daughter of the equally notorious Michelle and John Phillips of the famed Mamas and Papas.
Friends since birth, Carnie and Chynna knew each other even before Wendy was born. Best friends growing up, the three of them would often share their love for music and specifically for vocal harmonies. In 1989 they were signed to SBK Records, and their debut album was released in 1990.
Their debut album had three number one singles including HOLD ON, RELEASE ME, and IMPULSIVE. And it sold five million copies in the US alone. Their debut album was nominated for four Grammy awards. Their follow up album, released in 1992, had their fourth number one single YOU’RE IN LOVE. They have sold over ten million albums worldwide over their storied career becoming one of the best-selling female groups in recorded music history.
Taking a break from recording and touring, all three have married (they still are married to their first husbands) and collectively have raised nine children as very hands-on moms.
Returning to recording in 2004 releasing three albums on Sony - their take on California classics (CALIFORNIA), a wonderful Christmas album (CHRISTMAS IN HARMONY), and a tribute album singing the hits of their parents (DEDICATED). All three albums charted in the Billboard top 50 and get airplay to this day.
The most unexpected “surprise” in their career was their appearance in the comedy classic BRIDESMAIDS in 2011 singing HOLD ON. It was a surprise in that they were told that they were simply performing in a “wedding scene.” The director, Judd Apatow never told them they were in the final scene and the punchline in the entire movie. That classic scene secured their place as one of the most beloved harmony groups ever.
And these best friends continue to record and harmonize with each other releasing a harmony-rich version of Harry Styles’ song BOYFRIENDS in November of 2022.
