Ann Dustin Wilson (born June 19, 1951 in San Diego, California) is the lead singer and flute player[1] of Heart.

Wilson's family moved around as a child because her father was a Marine Corps colonel. The family eventually settled in Bellevue, a suburb of Seattle, Washington. Shy due to a stutter, Wilson turned to music, and in the early 1970s she joined a local band which, in 1974, changed its name to Heart.

Her younger sister Nancy joined the group in 1974. The band moved to Canada and cut their first album Dreamboat Annie in Vancouver in 1975. It was released in the United States in 1976. In 1977, Little Queen was released.

Wilson started a recording studio, Bad Animals, with her sister in the mid-1990s. She formed a side band, The Lovemongers, which performed Battle of Evermore on the soundtrack to brother-in-law Cameron Crowe's 1992 movie Singles and later released a four-song EP. The band's debut album Whirlygig was released in 1997.

Ann adopted her daughter Marie in 1991 and her son Dustin in 1998. She underwent a weight-loss surgery called Adjustable gastric band in January 2002[2] after what she calls "a lifelong battle" with her weight. In June 2004, Heart released Jupiter's Darling, which is a popular favorite among classic rock stations.
