Takin’ A Walk celebrates Women’s History Month with a very special She Wrote the Book feature — and host Buzz Knight sits down with the one and only Carnie Wilson, the powerhouse vocalist and television personality whose voice helped define the sound of a generation.
Carnie Wilson rose to fame as one-third of Wilson Phillips, the iconic vocal trio whose debut single “Hold On” became one of the best-selling singles of 1990, spending two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. But behind that soaring voice and infectious pop brilliance is a woman with one of music’s most extraordinary family legacies — she is the daughter of Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson, one of the most celebrated songwriters and musical visionaries in rock history.
In this intimate and revealing conversation, Carnie opens up about growing up in the shadow of pop royalty, finding her own artistic voice, the creative chemistry between herself, Chynna Phillips, and Wendy Wilson, and how music has been both a refuge and a calling throughout her life. She reflects on the timeless appeal of Wilson Phillips’ harmonies, the emotional journey behind their biggest hits, and what it means to carry on a musical legacy while forging one’s own path.
A television personality, podcast host, and passionate advocate for mental health and wellness, Carnie Wilson is far more than a pop star — she’s a storyteller, a survivor, and a true daughter of rock and roll.
This Women’s History Month, Takin’ A Walk honors the women who wrote the soundtrack of our lives. Carnie Wilson has been singing hers out loud for decades — and she’s not done yet.
