However most of Wilson's success has been found as a guest vocalist working with dance acts. With the FreemasonsWilson provided lead vocals on many tracks on the Freemasons' album, Shakedown. She was first discovered by a couple of producers who pitched a song with her voice to The Freemasons; they didn't feel the track but loved the singer and that was the breakthrough.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} Her biggest hit was the Freemasons track, "Love on My Mind", which reached number 11 in 2005 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The song sampled vocals from "This Time Baby" by Jackie Moore, and lyrics from "When The Heartache Is Over" by Tina Turner.
