[14] Wilson left Snow Patrol in September 2023 to focus on his metal project named Above as Below, releasing the song "Luna".

But he enjoys playing it and likes the potential of the instrument: "By changing one note, you can make the whole thing sound a lot better".

[12] Apart from writing bass-lines for the band, Wilson occasionally contributes guitar and piano parts, and also plays keyboards live on "Just Say Yes".

He writes bass-lines based on the song's rhythm and at times teams up with drummer Jonny Quinn to come up with a basic riff or simple chord changes.

[12][17] As a child, Wilson was a huge fan of Star Wars, and owned toys of all characters.

[3] He has the name of his previous band "Terra Diablo" tattooed on the inside of his left arm.
